Hi there. Anyone know about distribution of this beetle in Malaysia? As i know this species widespread here. I have some dark colored males from Malaysia, label says: Perak, Tapah hills. 1998 This is nominate race. Now I tried to get more of them, or even a new ssp from Fraser hill area. But I discussed with few local collectors and they said that, this beetle became extremely rare here and only a few specimens was collected for last ~7 years. Is it real?

Yes I do - and is definitely not COMMON AT ALL - never in the TAPAH HILLS - EVER. IT has been taken on Frasers Hill - and I have talked to collectors there and in over 20 years they only seen a couple. The ones you have are from Thailand - they are from around Chiang Rai the person you chatted to - likely Tett Seng (Wong - mybugs on EBAY) does have I think ONE. If you want that one - he wants $5888.00
Your data for the specimens you have is INCORRECT I am sorry
