A very big difference is the shape of the hind wings.
As I have written to Larry, there is the possibility that the Yimnashana are actually altitudinal Gyaritus; therefore, Yimnashana might not be a true genus but a group of subspecies characterised by reduced hind wings. |

Gyaritus auratus Breuning, 1963 has two small lateral and visible spines on the pronotum, like your specimen. Yimnashana alfredi Gouverneur & F. Vitali, 2016 (here a paratype) has two minimal lateral spines on the pronotum, barely visible, and less elongated elytra. |

Sorry, G.quadridentatus has different spines.
Your specimen, with dark pattern is probably Gyaritus auratus Breuning, 1963. I will post some specimens from north Laos this week. |

Check also Gyaritus quadridentatus (Pic, 1936), but the holotype seems to me a little immature.
Trat is not in "south" Thailand  . |
