| It's a Cacia with such hairs on antennae. |

| Maybe belongs to the genus Achthophora ? |

I don't find any Achthophora in databases for "Vietnam area"... I thought to Cacia genus because of this picture from Gressitt (1970) :
Maybe I'm wrong. |

Hi Xavier,
you are rigth, Achthophora is a mistake; the left one Cacia flavoguttata Breuning, 1938 looks very similar, esp the antennae, spines and hairy region at the 3th and 4th, but not good visible at Andre's spms. |

hallo Xaurus and Xavier. Thank you for your help.
Here a better picture from the antennae. With distinctly spines at the 3th and 4th. I think Cacia flavoguttata Breuning 1938 is correct.
Thank you.

In his key (1970), Breuning only speaks about the spine on the 4th, but we can see the second one on the third article on the original picture.
Cacia (Acanthocacia) flavoguttata Breuning, 1968 for me too. |

Actually, Acanthocacia is characterised by spines on both 3rd and 4th article.
Thus, new species for Vietnam! Congratulations!  |
