It`s male without ear-like process on 7-segment of antenna. How that is possible for annulata..
And antennae by the way a lot shorter then of real (in my view) annulata. |

| Yes, it seems closer to P. palimnoides - but not with exactly same drawing - and this species is unknown from Sumatra. |

Dear Max,
it should be Palimna sumatrana Breuning, 1938, endemic from Sumatra.
The male was unknown in 1938, I do not know now. |

Dear Francesco, thank so much for determination.

I also had the same problem: sumatrana was described from a female, persimilis from a male (without a process on the antennomere VII).
However, persimilis shows a white pronotum, sumatrana two narrow  longitudinal black bands.
I wonder if they actually are the same species. |
