From Trus Madi, Cerosterna perakensis. Exact?
Much darker and a little different from my other specimens.
Confirmation, please. |

Yes, the one at top is P. malaccensis.
The bottom one is undescribed. In fact, I had sent my specimen to Hudepohl in 1999, and he was unable to identify it, but he did identify a specimen of P. malaccensis for me. |

So the one at top is really Paranamera malaccensis Breuning, not Cerosterna. Correct?
At bottom is also genus Paranamera.... Another sp. or form? |

They are two different species. I have a few specimens of the one at top: P. malaccensis
I have only one specimen of the one below. Their similarity is remarkable. I don't know if Jiroux is working on this tribe anymore. There are many undescribed species and the genera are confusing. |

You have a good question. I'm not sure I know the correct answer. You have a male and a female. I haven't seen very many specimens to know how variable they are. |

Dan, I also have this species named as Paranamera malaccensis Breuning.
It's also correct ?

I have this species named as Paranamera malaccensis Breuning, 1935.
Some specimens have more contrast between the light and dark areas. |
