Jérôme and Francesco, thank you both for your help in this regard.
Surprised to find Paulianometallyra so far south, but definitely does fit.

The same species here.

The key by Lepesme & Breuning (1956) is - as usual -misleading since both Paulianometallyra and Saphanidus show III antennomere longer than IV (not as long as in Paulianometallyra!).
Thank to the specimens preserved in the Museum Luxembourg, I can observe that Saphanidus shows a strong pronotal spine and cylindrical antennae, while Paulianometallyra shows a minute pronotal spine and flattened antennae.

Bonsoir

Est ce que ça ne serait pas une Paulianometallyra peut-être l'espèce jacksoni Lepesme et Breuning 1956 ?
Regardez peut être dans ce sens ??
