Posted - 22/01/2012 : 22:05:39 No, Max, it is my fault. I was unclear since I had not reviewed the descriptions but I quoted from my memory... sorry! ![](images/icon_smile_sad.gif)
I have got a R. diana in my collection; I will insert a picture in the next days... unfortunately, very far from your beautiful photo! |

Posted - 22/01/2012 : 21:21:19 Sorry, Francesco, your right absolutely! But, that ridges is visible on the lateral side of the middle femurs! It`s not like Derolus, but this does not take out of me responsibility for carelessness! Sorry. %) |

Posted - 22/01/2012 : 19:50:57 mmmhm... the single central spot on the pronotum might derive from two parenthesis-shaped spots anteriorly fused together. This is rather typical of the species of the group histrio (sub-genus Arcyphorus Chevrolat, 1863), in Indochina with diana and patkaina. Nonetheless, a ridge is always visible on the ventral side of the middle femurs. |

Posted - 22/01/2012 : 18:05:56 No, the elytra have analogue pattern, but the pronotum should have only two longitudinal bands. Could you check if the femora are longitudinally ridged as Derolus-species? |

Posted - 16/01/2012 : 20:26:15 A species very closely related to Rhaphuma pseudominuta Gressitt & Rondon, 1970 from Laos. I do not know if it may be considered as the same species. In the next days I will insert a picture. |
