Hello everyone.
I have four of these in my collection
They look exactly like Faustabryna specimens.

Data: 09-2014 - Mt Kanlaon - 900m - Negros Island - Visayas - Philippines

Thanks for any help.

Pseudaprophata I am thinking now. I have three of these with no name, all three show little variation.

Sorry, but I don't recognize the second white band.

Hi Xavier.
I see what you mean about the second white band being two 'curved' in the specimen above.

I have three other specimens of this species.

Below are a Male and Female showing horizontal second bands.

Well, I don't know, but as you have both specimens with straight and curve band, it should be easy to check if they belong to the same species (and they seem).

I also have P. puncicornis romblonica Hued. from Panay.
It is identical but with less brown on the elytra.

Regional differences in specimens as so often happens with Asian fauna!
Thanks guys.
