I'm received recently very interesting material from N Vietnam.. Many of beetles is eximious
Nupserha, a think. Male, 13mm, Vietnam, Sa Pa.
Underside entirely black (even the head - gula and mandibles are black). |

I have a similar specimen to yours in collection from north Laos that I named Nupserha ventralis Gahan, 1894 because of this picture. But, is it really the same species ?
You have to check also the original description by Gahan.

I think it is rather Nupserha taliana (Pic, 1916) in both cases.
N. ventralis is a species from Myanmar and Assam, which also shows red profemurs.
However, very nice pictures; thanks! |

| Thanks Francesco. Do you think that EOL determination is wrong ? |

If it comes from China, it is N. taliana as well.
I seem to understand that N. taliana is a species external to Himalaya, being present in Tibet, Yunnan, Vietnam and Laos, while N. ventralis is internal, being present in Assam and Myanmar... |
