Well, that was my only doubt.  |

Yes, the terminal segments have gray pubescence,
not easy to see, but when the light hits it just right,
it is apparent.
Thank you,

Well, by considering that ventral side and legs are uniformly orange, it should be Oberea scutellaris Gerstäcker, 1855.
This is the drawing provided by Distant (1902).
Oberea scutellaris in Distant, 1902: Fig. 47
Notice that the last four antennomeres are covered with grayish pubescence, a character I cannot observe. |

Francesco, the ventral color is the same as the head and humeri.
Thanks

It is an Oberea, but I should observe the color of the ventral side, |
