I am extremely interested in the ID of this species since I have it and
have never been able to identify them.  My specimens are almost identical
to Olivier's ones.
However, mine come from Central Philippines...

Why?  I personally really like to see yours and other's unidentified
specimens, there is a lot to learn.

Paul,
Do you have any reference?
Which is its correct distribution?
Thanks,
Paolo
