5 mm. Nong Khiaw, Luang Prabang province, Nord Laos.
Voici le Pteroplini Pterolophia bituberculatithorax (Pic, 1930) et la description, pour une fois, très précise qu'en donne son auteur :

Ropica bituberculatithorax n. sp.
Oblongus, nigropiceus, pro parte rufescens, diverse griseo aut luteo pubescens; antennis sat brevibus, apice attenuatis, alboannulatis; thorace breve et lato, in disco minute bituberculato, dense punctato; elytris thorace latioribus, sat elongatis, postice valde attenuatis, fortiter punctatis, in disco postice medium albo notatis, in disco diverse bicostulatis, ad basim et postice nigro cristatis; pedibus multicoloratis.
Long. 5 mill. Saigon. -
Cette petite espèce est caractérisée par le prothorax bituberculé conjointement à la structure elytrale.

7 mm, male, Oudomxay Province, Laos.
This species is not Pterolophia bituberculatithorax (Pic, 1930): a photograph of the holotype of P. bituberculatithorax was published in TAVAKILIAN , 2018. New nomenclatural changes for 2018 (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae).Les Cahiers Magellanes (NS) 30: 38-43.

This Pterolophia sp., which I have collected in several localities in Laos and Thailand, seems common to me.
It corresponds to illustrations 18c of the fauna of Laos (Breuning, 1970), and PONPINIJ & Als, 2011.Records of Subfamily Lamiinae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in Northern Thailand. Pl.4, Fig.j.(= fig.67b in the thesis) incorrectly named Pterolophia bituberculatithorax (Pic, 1930):

PONPINIJ & Als have adopted the error from the fauna of Laos, as this species is in fact Pterolophia partepostflava Breuning, 1965.
