I thought so too at first, Dan, there are 3 specimens all labeled with the Uttar Pradesh labels.

| It should be logically identified as Chloridolum. |

... and it corresponds well enough to Chloridolum perlaetum (White, 1853).
See Gahan (1906: 201-202). |

In fact, I wrote "enough"... I assumed the picture was unclear.
Your idea Tomas? |

Tomas are right, C. perlaetum have a transversely striated pronotum. Also the black part on the hind tibia is not so much black !
I have two Indian species here with suspicion of C. perlaetum. All two with transversely striated pronotum. But I have not see the HT  |

Only four species are known from India:
Chloridolum alcmene Thomson, 1865
Chloridolum bivittatum (White, 1855)
Chloridolum nympha (White, 1853)
Chloridolum perlaetum (White, 1853)
Chloridolum perlaetum is the closest species.
In the original description, the pronotum is described as "delicatule transversim striato"
If Larry's species is really not C. perlaetum, it is a new species (at least) from India.
Actually, it reminds me of the Neotropical Callichroma holochlorum Bates, 1872 |

Hmmmm ???
Callichromatini is a crazy tribus, but we must clear this.... step by step.
Sorry Larry. In your HP you can see under Chloridolum alcmene three genera !!!
Polyzonus....cf. siamense
Chloridolum sp.
Hmmmm.....Aromiella cf. fruhtorferi
But none of them is Chloridolum alcmene ! |

It really looks close to C. perlaetum by colour, except the pronotum (and slightly different colour of femora) - I have seen the type.
It might be a new species. |

| Yes, if you try to save the files you should see TP and LT, respectively. |
