Certainly a nice specimen, and very uncommon.
It belongs in the same tribe as Rhodopina and Anacasta... Apodasyini / Desmiphorini / Rhodopinini ... take your pick

I'd rather say Acalolepta biocellata Breuning 1940.

Same species here.
Apical cicatrix of scape is more evident in the second picture.
