Aeromachus jhora.
The two species recorded in P. Malaysia are quite alike.

P. dhora with more elongate antennal club (with an apiculus not easily seen in pix) is not uncommon in Fraser Hill.

A. pygmaeus is found only in the north. with more rounded club (without an apiculus).

A 3rd species, A. dubius , which the record is uncertain has the HW band incomplete.
