From HUA (2009), the description of Blepephaeus yagii = Blepephaeopsis yagii Hayashi, 1992 ? from Taïwan (but, strangely, no mention of synomyme in Titan or biolib):

Length 20 mm.
Brown; on base of elytra with punctures, on middle with a white oblique band, distal scatered with small white spots.


I'm not sure if it might be this species, and I haven't the original description .

It is very similar to the Annamanum albisparsum (Gahan, 1888) of the book of China.
Nonethess, the picture in the Forum - very similar to the specimen figured by Lingafelter & Hoebeke (2002)- looks different enough...

Oh, the A. albisparsum pictured in Hua et al. (2009) is really quite similar to the spms from Tam Dao, a more widespread sps in this area.
Hayashi (1992) described B. vietnamensis too, see attached descr & picture (sorry for bad copy), I believe this is the right sps, but a bit strange Hayashi did not compare his both sps with the maybe very similar A. albisparsum
