Beautiful little guys, remind me of a Phymatodes from an overall look, but I think not. From Tam Dao.

I think it belongs instead to Lamiinae, such as Egesina (Pteropliini). It might be Egesina setosa (Gressitt, 1937), but I have to check the keys.

By using the key, I arrive to Egesina (Cuphisia) subfasciata (Pic, 1926).
Breuning (1963) erroneously synonymised this species with E. (Cuphisia) cleroides (Gahan, 1890) from India (below), which differs from subfasciata in the black (rather than red) antennae and other characters (pubescence, antennae).
 Enispia cleroides Gahan, 1890, Pl. VII, Fig. 7 |

Excellent, thank you very much.
In addition to mimicking clerids, there was an immature cockroach that looked exactly like it. The tropics are truly amazing!
