I think I rushed with emotions.
The pronotal ridge of my blue Sternotomis (I got it a long time ago as S. bohemani ferreti) not so curved and differently shaped as ones on Sergi`s foto..
I guess my beetles is normal S. bohemani. Waste panic |

I have this one too, but from Tanzania right (Dar-Es-Salaam)
And white-greenish S. bohemani from Central Africa have similar pronotal ridge..

For more indication, here you have a comparison between the two species:
mathildae left and bohemani right.
As you can see, there is a difference on the shape of anterior pronotal ring (more incurved in the one of mathildae) and on the shoulder carinae.

Ok Claude, I will determine this species with the name Sternotomis mathildae momentarily. |

It's more probably S. mathildae know in Camerun, Bohemani is widespread on the South of Africa (Tanzanie, Namibie, etc..).
The pattern of these species are very close. |

Thanks Carlo for both determinations.
One question, Sternotomis mathildae Allard, 1993, not is correct for this species???? |
