According to me, it is a Serixia, as for example S. prasinata Pascoe, 1866 (below).

Hmm, it doesn't quite have the thick clump of hairs under the first few antenna segments, like other Serixia. These long hairs are apparent from the illustration of S.prasinata that you attached.
Antenna detail of my specimen:

These hairs are specific characters that may be more abundant such as in S. semiusta, or completely missing, such as in S. fulvida . So, the genus is correct.![](images/icon_smile_shy.gif) Unfortunately, I have not got the revision of this genus. |

Thanks, Francesco. By the way, the above 2 pictures correspond to 2 different individuals. The vertex does seem to have quite a distinct depression in the middle; this is more clearly shown in the 2nd image. |
