    Hy Donny!
    This is Meloidae, from genus Cissites (looks like Cissites maxillosa from Thailand)

      Here's the email from my friend, describing about this specimen":> Hi Donny,
      > on your blog you show an unknown species (red colour, massive mandibles; you note "maybe carabidae?" march 2010). This post is not recent and I think you must have recieved answers, didn't you? - Anyway, note that this specimen belongs to the family of Meloidae, poorly known for several genera especially the one you are showing. The specimen shown on your photo is a member of genus Horia or more probably Synhoria. Both are present in parts of Asia but also Africa, mainly southern areas (I have in my collection specimen from Cameroon). I am quite sure that the beetle on your photos is not described, as most of these Meloids.
