In all likelihood, it is an Agelasta of the subgenus Dissosira.
Unfortunately, Yamasako et Obayashi recently revised this group and transferred several Mesosa-species here. Consequently, it is very difficult to reconstruct a key. |

Thank you for all your help.
The reason I thought this might be Mesosa longipennis is I found a photo exactly the same naming it and saying it was from Japan. Now I have found your site I will be more careful.

It is not Mesosa longipennis, which has a more mimetic pattern.
According to me, with that bulged elytral basis, it belongs to the genus Agelasta. |
