Despite its name, Asaperdina belongs to the Desmiphorini; hence it shows opposite (rather than normal) claws.
With Breuning's keys, I do not reach A. marmorea either, since the elytral points should be aligned (according to Breuning, though Pic stated "irregulariter punctatis"  ). |

Dear Max,
I found a very similar Asaperda in N-Vietnam last year, but without the white band at the scapus and a bit different tomentation, maybe more similar to maculosa, at time I'll make a picture.

Merci, Xavier! But the presence of large white pubescent band on the scape is absent in this description..
This feature out of the ordinary among Asaperda, i think.
And very strong prothoracal tubercles. It would be a good thing to see a type..
Thanks! |

May be this one with white marks ?
Asaperda maculosa Pic, 1927 |
