Hi, I found this smallish longhorn beetle a few days ago.
Body length only 14mm.
Not sure what happened to its wings. Deformed.
I looked through all the images under Malaysia but couldn't find a match.
Please help.

Thanks
Kurt

With those bulges on the pronotum, I'd say a Coptops-species.

It is not easy to understand the shape of elytral surface and pattern, but I guess Coptops lichenea Pascoe, 1865.
Here a picture of a pair.
