Yes, the last sternite is black, and shining in the middle,
the other sternites have dense setae covering them.

This is the typical character of this species (mela = black, ura = tail)
According to me, it is this species, though it has not been recorded from Sulawesi yet.

| It's Pterolophia ministrata (Pascoe, 1865), close to Pterolophia melanura (Pascoe, 1857),but with the lower lobes of the eyes the same length as the cheeks, the pronotum very finely punctuated, and a faint yellow macule on each side of the scutellum (cf. Breuning revision). |
