Philippines, Luzon. 33 mm.

Francesco, is it possible to find out the name of this species?

Body all over black, also beneath; intense blue highlights on the hind wings; elytra showing weak dark green reflections.
Pronotum and head covered with dense black velvet hairs.

The only species recorded from the Philippines is Scalenus ysmaeli Hüdepohl, 1987.
A description and a picture can be found here.

I know the description of Hüdepohl. But no other document concerning this genus which seems quite poorly known in spite of the particular look of these beetles.
Thank you!

I have got Podanı's monograph, which includes all species except for ysmaeli.
If you need it, I can scan the key for you.
