7 mm à 8 mm. Hua Phan, nord-est Laos.
Beaucoup de ressemblance avec Mimopothyne flavolineata Breuning, 1956 dont le Type est visible ici. Mais ce n'est pas lui.
Une seule espèce décrite dans ce genre,... mon espèce est-elle nouvelle ou appartient-elle à un autre genre proche ?
A vous... |

Z. tonkinensis is a complete different species, I have seen in IRSN, I prepare a picture for the type section |

In this case, my species seems to be Zorilispe tonkinensis Breuning, 1956:

I wonder if the Lao species is related to Zorilispe seriepunctata Breuning, 1939 described from Borneo, and probably confused with a Lao species in BREUNING S., 1964. Tribus Apomecynini Lac. and in RONDON J. A. & BREUNING S., 1970 Lamiines du Laos. |

I have one more male, if the 2 posted from Laos are well a couple. |

yes there are some remarkable differences of course, I'll check more in detail later my series from Sulawesi & Papua, the different pronotum (length/wide) is a sexual dimorphism too, I have 7 spms from Papua, 1 from Ceram and 1 from Sulawesi with such variations.
Do you have some material from Laos males & females. Probably the Laos sps is another one --> see also the very near Zorilispe genus ! |

Very interesting !

On this picture, sides of pronotum are different (rounded or not), length also are different . I see here 3 different species !
Then, I do not think it is possible to find the same species in Sulawesi & in north Laos at 1500 m ! |

recently I have ID this species as Dolichepilysta celebensis, indeed the distribution is a bit strange Laos - Sulawesi - W-Papua. Maybe we have a widespread sps with a wider range of individual variations in some point like sides of pronotum, punctuation and tomentation. Look f.e. to Sybra alternans a wide distributed and very variable sps.
Of course later I have to study the male genitals for more information but from Laos I have only a female.

1. Mimozotale (Parazotale) longipennis (Pic, 1927) (determination by me)
2. sp. of this post
Antenna structure, furrow on mid tibias, shape of pronotum & elytra are the same, I still believe it is a Mimozotale sp. |

Well, I have not the description of Dolichepilysta Breuning, 1964...I do not know if my specimens may belong to the same genus.
- On black & white picture, I see that Dolichepilysta celebensis has side of pronotum rounded ( straight on my specimens).
- My specimens have a deep furrow at mid tibias. |

this sps is also very near to my spms of Dolichepilysta celebensis Breuning, 1964 from Sulawesi and W-Papua, I should study more in detail soon  |

Another possibility is the genus Mimozotale Breuning, 1951 (Desmiphorini); with 3rd antennomere longer than scapus and as long as 4th, it should belong to Mimozotale (Trizotale).
The only one is Mimozotale (Trizotale) trivittata (Pic, 1931). |

sorry Xavier, recently I'm very busy with other projects but this group is very interesting for clarifications |

Yes, like Mimozotale etc. Do you have more idea about the genus? |
