Spinimegopis tibialis (White, 1853), described from North India but also known from Tibet and Nepal.
A mountain species likely widespread in Myanmar too. |

It's not Spinimegopis tibialis
the size 35mm? is very short.
Spinimegopis tibialis is much longer. Here's a photo of my specimen collected in S.E.Tibet, a female.

You are right: I have identified this species before reading the revision by Drumont & Komiya.
Maybe S. kachina is a better ID, but I have to examine the ventral side |

Hi all, thank you for coming back with this topic.
Francesco, what do you need to see from the ventral side? Any particular detail?

| Yes: it should observe if the prosternum has a posterior conspicuous tubercle or it is smooth. |

I think you have to see the prosternal process. - This helps? |

Coming back to this old topic, the former picture shows a small but evident tooth at the apical margin of the prosternum.
Thus, it is a female of Spinimegopis lividipennis (Lameere, 1920). |

I just found this post.
I have one I thought it is S. lividipennis which was collected from Guizhou China, but now I don't know.

I think yes but I do not understand if the apical margin of the prosternum has the toothed process.
Have you got the monographs to this genus? If not, I can send it to you. |

That will be great! Please send me the monographs. Thank you, Francesco!
BTW, is the red dot on the attached picture the place that I should check for your words "the apical margin of the prosternum has the toothed process". I'll try to have my friend to clean the specimen and repost it later.

OK, now I got the paper. Thank you, Francesco!
Here's a picture for the tooth process.
It's not so evident as the one in fig 24 of Komiya and Drumont (2007). I guess it might be individual variation or sex differences, the fig 24 in the paper is a female, the one I posted is a male. Huh...
