Not yet, Francesco, it will cost me 3 month to extract well.

By the way, A. rusticatrix emerged from dead branch that I took away to my room.

On the other hand, I got musivus larvae in a trunk of a live tree and succeeded to emerge.

Very interesting!
I have already extracted the genitalia of some musivus-specimens from the Philippines and Sulawesi.
Beckey, could you extract some typical specimens?

Thank you Francesco, I agree with Pascoe.

According to Breuning, this is the morph musivus, once described as a species by Pascoe (who well knew rusticatrix however...)

I can distinguish easily between A and B in my collection.

They occurred in same location in Malay Peninsula but don't mate with each other.

So, I think if A is A. rusticatrix, B is not A. rusticatrix.

This should be the male Acalolepta rusticatrix (Fabricius, 1801) in its form (?) musivus Pascoe,
