I wonder if this could be Ropica ochreomaculata Breuning, 1969? Anyone has the text description in Breuning 1969?

It is a species from Borneo, but description fits well ( punctuation on scapus, 3rd and 4th antennomera equal, small ridge at the base of the elytra,...)

Thanks, Xavier. Your help is most appreciated.

I agree that the description fits very well, although I would say that the ridge at the base of elytra is quite rather than a bit elevated.

For the ridge, I agree with you, and that's why I have a doubt it is this species...and I am not sure it is a Ropica sp. .
