The holotype specimen of Glenea propinqua Gahan, 1897 from Singapore has predominantly black legs, and a different white pattern on the apex of the elytra.
Top row: Glenea bellona female & male - from Sabah Bottom row: Glenea propinqua 4 Males and 1 (?)female. - from Sabah
Larry's Glenea is still propinqua in my opinion, despite the color of the legs. My specimens have a variable apical mark on the elytra... in fact a lot of Glenea have some variation .. if you have have series of a species with markings.
G. bellona is more robust, with shorter antennae. In fact the female is one of the largest Glenea that I ever seen except for G. bankoi
Sabah Borneo: Glenea propinqua
