Dear all Please help me to Identify these Neolucus specimens. I collected them from S. Vietnam. Their size around 5.5 -6.5 cm. They are very close to N. maximus but different from the hind angles. Thank all Attachments:

It's Neolucanus maedai and very similar to N. maximus.

Dear
I think they are Neolucanus katsuraorum Tsukawaki, 2011 because the longer mandible and the higher canthus than N. maedai Nagai 2001.

I think they could be a Synonym. There're even less differences between N. maedai and N. katsuraorum than between N. maedai and N. maximus. I think it should be a N. maedai ssp katsuraorum.
