| Your specimen matches the description of Nedine subspinosa W. Wang & Chiang, 1999, and the photograph of the holotype very well (especially the distinct heart-shaped pattern at the base of the pronotum). The only difference I see in the description is the comparison with Nedine longipes Thomson, 1864: legs that are uniformly reddish-brown rather than partially black on the hind tibiae and tarsi. However, the apices of the femora and tibiae of the type specimen of N. subspinosa are brown, and this character is may be variable ? |
