Mmmhm... mesotibias furrowed: surely not Pteropliini.
I'd say Apomecynini.

Have a look to this species from Taiwan.
Your specimen could belong to a close genus of Desmiphorini tribe.

Good idea Xavier!
However, the claws are not opposite; thus, it belong to Apomecynini.

Do you think this Taiwanajinga albofasciata Hayashi, 1978 could be an Apomecynini too ?
I can not have a good see of the claws on the picture linked.

I found the original description and Hayashi stated that claws are opposite. Thus, he inserted this genus into Rhodopini.

thanks both, good idea, the sps on the picture linked by Xavier is really similar to my spm, but I don't believe this is T. albofasciata, the ID should be wrong, according to material I have seen in the collection of CH.

furthermore, the middle tibia are without a furrow, not easy to see at the picture, I have no opinion about the tribe.

In this case, fig.1377 page 119 in Iconography of Chinese longicorn beetles (Hua &al, 2009) is also wrong.

maybe the fig.1377 page 119 in Hua et al. (2009) is wrong, at this picture I see a spine in the middle of the left fore femur, or it that a artefact.

I think it is Falsoropicoides laosensis Breuning, 1965 like this couple from Laos.
