Not easy from such photo. Might be Stenochroma hefferni.

Is this from Sabah? Probably Stenochroma, yes. I won't be able to study closely until a few days from now,

Even with all of the work done on Bornean Callichromatini, it is still a difficult group.

I'm attaching here a photo of a paratype of S. hefferni and a sketch of the pronotum (courtesy of Joan B.).

I can't absolutely say that your specimen is S. hefferni, because I have made more than my share of mistakes when working with the green Callichromatini from Borneo. But... I also can not find another species in my collection that it is more resembling.

Unless you have been able to study a series of specimens, it is hard to identify this genus. I have 6 of the 8 species known from Sabah, but only 1 or 2 of each species.
