I add a picture of a female of the same species belonging to my collection. The pronotal punctuation should correspond. |

The points do not touch and are very neat. |

This is a male of Euporus (s. str.).
There are several species in Cameroon with similar pattern, which differs in the pronotal puncturing. If the points on the pronotum are well separated, it is E. dubius Schmidt, 1922, if they are more or less united between them, it is E. amabilis Hope, 1843.
I guess the former one, but I do not see it very well. |
