It corresponds to the description of Pterolophia (Ale) fuscoplagiata Breuning, 1938, Pteropliini.

Is it the type?
I had the same doubt, but according to Breuning's key, that I have simplified in the key I provided in my paper about the Solomon cerambycids, P. salomonum should have "a black spot at each side of the pronotal base" not brown markings.

Dear Francesco,

I never use Breuning's absurd key.
