Mainly because of the light elytra tips and less contrasting white band in the latter. |

| Dan's picture is a little bit smoky, but he should tell us if his species is the same than here |

Yes, similar to C. callizona, shown here, and similar in size.
So far as known, C. callizona occurs in only Borneo.

| Sorry for the cloudy picture at the top. Santa Claus has not brought me a new camera yet. I will wait to see if any Forum members recognize this species before asking Dr. Yamasako. |

Yes Ben, I see now rounded scapus (so, not a Mesosini sp.), but Dan specimen has got furrow on mid tibias.
So, Alidopsis latefasciatus (Breuning, 1938) ? |
