Chromacilla maybe tricolor (Jordan, 1894).
I need details of the pronotum in order to identify it.

C. tricolor is a possibility. The coloration of the pronotum seems to fit: green at the base, golden reddish on the disc, apical third blue violet.

On the other hand I do not understand on your photos the fine ridges which should be transverse on the major part of the disc, becoming somewhat concentric on apical middle zone. Your photos seem to show something different so I am not sure.
Other point: the hind tarsi look like wearing white hair ?

I have posted on Biolib photos of C. tricolor, coming from the same location than yours. Have a look and tell us what you think.

They look the same. Any possible minor differences could be just variation within the species. It is an attractive beetle.
Thanks
