Dear experts:
I got these two from imported Equatorial Guinea's timbers, one maybe Chloridolum sp. and the other I am not familiar with African Lamininae tribes.
Many thanks |

Dear Zhu,
It is better to post one species by topic. Thanks

The colour of the pronotal spots can vary from pure white to ochraceous golden yellow. But with such regular small round spots, it is typically formosa melanaria. |

Best Regards |

Oh, My dear friends, you save my life.
One more question, Jonthodes formosa melanaria seem to has white hairy spots on pronotum, while this one is in face yellow or golden in the middle and a bit whittish on both sides,which make it looks like Jonthodes formosa amabilis.
But the elytra is no doubt fit your identification.
Thanks |

The first one is not a Chloridolum (genus not present in Africa).
Jonthodes formosa ssp. melanaria Achard, 1911. |
