Not exactly: Cnemidocroma are widespread only in South America and the males have antennae shorter than body.
This is a typical Callichroma with atypical reduction of metallic colour... or better, atypical abundance of black pubescence: Callichroma holochlorum melancholicum Bates, 1872.
Funereal, but elegant species... |
