It is not A. ellioti or A. plagiata. See perhaps with A. majerorum Lackerbeck, 2000 which is cited from India. |

A. majerorum has different antennae, so I could exlcude, maybe Anomophysis inscripta (Waterhouse, 1884) is very near, there is a male pictured at Larry's webside from Nepal looks like the same species. |

A. inscripta seems to have a quite different sexual markings on the pronotum, does your specimen have a spiny elytral apex? |

This reinforces my doubt about A. inscripta as it has an angular apex. On the other hand, in the Indian species we find A. confusa which seems to have a similar relief on the pronotum... |

Andreas, as you know, in most prioninae genus the antennal length can only be accurately estimated from true specimen series... |
