10 mm; Muruk, Nakana, Nouvelle Bretagne, Papouasie Nouvelle Guinée.
Antennomères 3 à 10 avec une épine apicale interne, lobe inférieur de l’œil à peine plus court que la joue, élytre avec une crête basale suivie d'une crête discale.
Cette espèce pourrait appartenir au sous-genre (Ale) car Breuning a placé dans le même sous-genre Pterolophia (Ale) ornatipennis qui possède aussi des épines (antennomères 3 à 9).

Could you confirm your ID ? English (or french) robot translation speaks about carpentry and building

The same species is here
I do not know if ID, Pterolophia (Ale) villaris (Pascoe, 1865) , is correct.

Pascoe's holotype comes from "Dorey" . Where is it ? I have found a place named "Dorey" in Papouasie Occidentale (Indonesia), far from New Britain...Could it be the right place ?

I'll make the translation later, sorry,

Dorey is north of the bird's neck in West-Papua, really a bit far from NB !

Pterolophia (Ale) variabilis (Pascoe, 1859) is another possibility.
