A common Pterolophia in Malay Peninsula.

But I don't know the differences between P. melanura (Pascoe, 1857) and P. subtincta (Pascoe, 1865).

The last abdominal segment is black in melanura and yellow in subtincta

Hi, Francesco,

Thank you for your advise.

I checked my hundreds specimens from Malay Peninsula but I couldn't find out typical P. subtincta.

Have you ever seen a distinct P. subtincta?
