Only today, I see this topic.
That this beetle is not igneicollis, we agree; nonetheless, according to Schmidt (1922) micans is very similar to ignifera but it is also characterised by yellow femora.
Sorry Pierre, but I am not received your monograph from Magellanes yet... I suppose Schmidt's monograph erroneous... |

This specimen is a Chromacilla micans (Fabricius).
The differences with C. igneicollis are: wrinkles of pronotum interrupted on the middle line, femora partly or completely yellowish. |

Chromacilla sì, ma è la sulcatula ignifera Schmidt, 1922, descritta della Sierra Leone.
La stessa specie la incontri nel Camerun, ma col torace e la testa nero-rossastra (forma tipica).
La C. igneicollis Hope ha le strie sul pronoto continue, non interrotte posteriormente da una zona liscia e lucida. |
