Maliau Basin
A medium sized species, I seem to recall.

mmmhm... Cleptometopus should have the upper eyes lobes completely missing.
With that pronotum as wide as elytral base, it should be Anandra capriciosa Thomson, 1864.
This species should be 15-20 mm long.

Francesco, Gerard, thank you so much for your help with all my Maliau photos, it is very much appreciated.

I can not find much information about this species, nor any reference to it on this site. Is it unusual?

I have a b&w picture of the type in Breuning's monograph; I will scan this photocopy, but it is not very well definite. The description is in German.
Aurivillius, 1916 described here at the page 21 (in Latin!) the variety niveoplagiata.
I will look for further papers.
