Could you make a good frontal view picture ? , or check if it's got or not a carena on the forehead ?
(anyways, the length of the antenna is for Chlorophorus sp.)

Very close to Chlorophorus lituratus (Castelnau & Gory, 1841). I have specimens from Sabah, even the type is from " E. India "

Per original article, type locality is "Indes-Orientales".

For me, this translates to "East Indies", which is a common name for the entire Indonesian archipelago, including Borneo. This, I strongly believe, has nothing to do with the country of India.

In my current collection, I only have 2 C. lituratus from only Sabah, identified by Dauber many years ago. I can not remember how many lituratus I have seen, but the number is very large. The markings on the eltrya vary a little, and the white pubescence can be easily rubbed off. So, this species is relatively common in Sabah, and I would guess that it occurs in Sumatra and West Malaysia.
