After improvement of the picture and by considering that the pattern is nearly complete, I think that A. eximoides is the most possible ID. |

This specimen is no Doliops but a representative of the genus Aprophata (Pteropliini). It might be A. eximia, but in Luzon two other similar species - A. eximioides Breuning, 1961 and A. notha (Newman, 1842) - are present.
The former is distinguishable for the rough pronotal punctures, while the latter for the very reduced pattern and other features not guessable in your picture. Actually, I cannot understand whether your specimen has a normal or damaged pubescence... |
