a really interesting sp, my first intention was Paramesosella stheniformis Breuning, 1940 a common one in Nepal, but yours is different, probably Sthenias or Pterolophia is also possible

Thanks Andreas, I deny this idea about P. stheniformis too. Against a Sthenias (in my view) it have short body with pretty long hind legs and
absence of frontal excavation between antennal bases. Pterolophia..
Probably You right but Paramesosella like me better yet
I should like to know what is P.sthenioides (Breuning, 1938)

This is the beetle in wild:

Pterolophia with such hairy legs is quite uncommon too, I attached P. stheniformis:

Thank You Andreas for this shot!
I should say about my beetle it`s really Paramesosella but another species than stheniformis.
Alboplagiata, chassoti, plurifasciculata and sthenioides - it would be nice to understand what it's all about :(

I can exclude P. sthenioides, fasciculata, medioalbo, gigantea, all are different sps, maybe Xavier can find the type spms of P. affinis and plurifasciculata in Paris, its very interesting for me, at least a new sps for Nepal.
