This should be the male Acalolepta rusticatrix (Fabricius, 1801) in its form (?) musivus Pascoe,

I can distinguish easily between A and B in my collection.
They occurred in same location in Malay Peninsula but don't mate with each other.
So, I think if A is A. rusticatrix, B is not A. rusticatrix.

According to Breuning, this is the morph musivus, once described as a species by Pascoe (who well knew rusticatrix however...) |

Very interesting! I have already extracted the genitalia of some musivus-specimens from the Philippines and Sulawesi. Beckey, could you extract some typical specimens?

Not yet, Francesco, it will cost me 3 month to extract well.
By the way, A. rusticatrix emerged from dead branch that I took away to my room.
On the other hand, I got musivus larvae in a trunk of a live tree and succeeded to emerge. |
