This adult lace bug was found on a fruiting Simple-leaf Chastetree (Vitex trifolia) in July 2018. There were plenty of them on that shrub and they congregated on the fruits, flowers and flower buds. A few tiny, spiky insects were found on the same plant which should be its nymph.

The Biodiversity of Singapore website had a picture of a dried specimen that looks like my picture. However, no species name was provided. That seems to be the only lace bug in this website when I last visited in July 2018.
