                       Breuning (1938) separates the two subgenres (in a simplified way): - elytra covered with erect hairs -> Mesosa(Perimesosa) - elytra without erect hairs -> Mesosa(Aplocnemia)
  So, Mesosa (Perimesosa) guttigera Holzschuh, 2018 should have erect hairs.
  I have a female from Vietnam (similar to your specimen) without erect hairs. |

                       With no erect hairs, could it be Agelasta (Pseudagelasta) hirsuta Breuning, 1939 ?
  Who determined this species? Do you have the publication related ? ( Breuning, 1939). |
