Brrr, not easy this group for me.
This one "looks like" my Palimna palimnoides (Schwarzer, 1925) from Laos (shape of the dark area around the scutellum, large white spots along the suture, cross on the forehead,...) |

It might also be Palimna indica Breuning, 1938 from NE India and Myanmar.
This species is similar to palimnoides but misses the pronotal lateral tooth and has a less defined black pattern.
Unfortunately, only two females are known. |

Thanks Francesco!
I save this in my mind.. But I'm afraid it maybe new. Yes, the material for comparison is absent  |
