Das sollte ein Weibchen von Ceresium gracile (Perroud, 1855) sein.
Einige Fotos des Typus seines Synonyms, Callimetopoides albomaculatus Breuning, 1981, können hier heruntergeladen werden.
Die Zeichnung deiner Art scheint aber ein wenig abweichend... |

Dear Francesco,
thanks a lot for your idea, I believe my spms belongs to this.
The female has thinner femurs and shorter antennae, the tomentation at the surface is nearly the same, only the scutellum is different, white in my spms.
Maybe you can find any info in the really comprehensive descr of C. gracile, I have attached. For my french is not easy to understand.

In the original description, the scutellum is defined as "covered whith the same pubescence of the elytral spots [whitish yellow]".
"Pondichéry" is Pondicherry, South India (here) |

Thanks Francesco,
this is a further evidence that my spm belongs to C. gracile,
and also the origin in S-India. The synonymy of C. albomaculatus is not yet published, or. ? like so many of Holzschuh's discoveries.
At the type picture of C. albomaculata some remains of the scutellar tomentation are still visible. |
