Dear Honza, in his beautiful work on the Cicindelidae-fauna of Sulawesi Cassola mentions two species of Dilatotarsa from Sulawesi: D. patricia (Schaum, 1861), widely diffused and rather common, and D. cassolai Werner & Sawada, 1990, at that time known upon 4 specimens from Palopo. I do not know the latter species, but the specimens in the photo seem to correspond rather well to my specimens of D. patricia. As far as I remember, D. loeffleri is known only from Borneo.

Have a good day

Thank you very much for your help Riccardo .I think it is this publication:
Studi sui Cicindelidi. LXIII. I Cicindelidae (Coleoptera) dell'Isola di Sulawesi, Indonesia. - Annali del Museo Civico di Storia Naturale "G. Doria", Genova, 1991, 88: 481-664.
I do not have this publication So I can not compare.

The publication is the one you mention, but it does not provide a key to the species, only a short mention of the two, besides some distributional data.

Anyway, I could get the .pdf of the whole issue of the periodical in a Canadian (I think) digital library. I could send it to you, but it is very "heavy" (36,8 Mb).

Greetings
