From Trus Madi, Cerosterna perakensis. Exact?
Much darker and a little different from my other specimens.
Confirmation, please.

I have this species named as Paranamera malaccensis Breuning, 1935.

Some specimens have more contrast between the light and dark areas.

You have a good question. I'm not sure I know the correct answer. You have a male and a female. I haven't seen very many specimens to know how variable they are.

They are two different species. I have a few specimens of the one at top: P. malaccensis

I have only one specimen of the one below. Their similarity is remarkable. I don't know if Jiroux is working on this tribe anymore. There are many undescribed species and the genera are confusing.

So the one at top is really Paranamera malaccensis Breuning, not Cerosterna. Correct?
At bottom is also genus Paranamera.... Another sp. or form?

Yes, the one at top is P. malaccensis.

The bottom one is undescribed. In fact, I had sent my specimen to Hudepohl in 1999, and he was unable to identify it, but he did identify a specimen of P. malaccensis for me.
