Charmallaspis pulcherrima (Perty, 1832), female. Interesting form by it's strongly sculptured elytra.

Yes, it does. But you can separate it from smithiana which has a different scutellum: quite smooth and finely punctured in pulcherrima, more dull with dense coarse punctures like the pronotum in smithiana. Other differences in punctures on basal antennal joints, form of humeri and base of elytra.
