188.88 KB 7 mm. nord Laos. Il s'agit de Ropica bisbilineata (Pic, 1926) dont le type est visible ici. Je pense que Ropica cruciata Breuning, 1939 dont le type est visible ici, est un probable synonyme de R. bisbilineata qui reste à publier.
I have very similar thing from Thailand, Chantaburi, Pom Nam Ron, 5,5 mm. But it have a tubercles near elytral base (3 intersrtiae) and carina-like continuation is present. Holotypes of cruciata and bilineata are haven`t such features as far as I can see.. I`m afraid to be wrong but beetle from above foto seems to be very closely related to my animal.
