Mesosa irrorata (Gressitt, 1939) is very differert£¬ I don't think it is M.irrorata |

Agelasta birmanica (Breuning, 1935) for me |

I think that Andre's specimen belongs to the genus Mesosa sg. Perimesosa.
What do you think about irrorata Gressitt?

Thanks for the picture  .
For Andre's specimen, I really don't know. |

Now I have post the HT in the type section, any ideas of the spms above are welcome ! |

Yes, I believe I have a type picture of Paragelasta birmanica, but I didn't make by myself and looking first where it is ? I'll check next days.

The black & white illustration from Laos Fauna (linked post) shows a specimen without ridge on elytra and with toothed pronotum like Gérard's and my specimens. Type specimen is needed, sure.
But now, we have to find your species .... |

Hmmm.....difficult, the description agrees more or less with our Spec. and Breuning did not mention the two ridges of the elytra of my Spec. so i think your second Spec. is A. birmanica.
But the best is the picture of the type. I think Xaurus can help. |

I agree with you.
Could you, please, check the original description of Paragelasta birmanica Breuning, 1935 = Agelasta (Pseudagelasta) birmanica (Breuning, 1935) and tell us which specimen is the true "birmanica" ? (I can't understand German language)

Hmm......the Type is in London. Might be Xaurus have a picture ? |

Very similar, but not the same. Pronotum and basis of elytra are different... |

1. Yours
2. north Thailande, Gérard
3. Northern Laos, mine
Your specimen is like this one, without big tooth ahead of pronotum (and it's not a sexual dimorphism comparing n°2 and 3).
Whitish drawing on elytra of your specimen is different from n°2 & 3.
The question is : which is Agelasta (Pseudagelasta) birmanica (Breuning, 1935) ? |

Please, look at those specimens of this post here.
I don't know why but I wonder if all belong to the same taxon  |
| Andre |
Posted - 27/12/2014 : 13:07:21
Yes......the underside is completly clutered with erect long white hairs.

Well, Gressitt (1970) wrote that this species has got erect hairs on the body.
Could you make a profil picture ? |
