Callichroma collare Jordan, 1894

Very pretty beetle really!
This is Chromacilla collaris (Jordan, 1894), a species widespread in Cameroon, Gabon, Congo and Zaire.
Its original description (as Callichroma collare) can be downloaded here (p. 167). Here the original drawing.

Cette espèce s'appelle maintenant Chromacilla venus venus (Thomson, 1858).
C. collaris est son synonyme.

... pourtant je ne suis plus complètement sûr qu'elle soit la même: la surface du pronotum est presque indistinguable.
