Surely, it is a Leontium.
I look for this species. |

| It is Chloridolum (Leontium) lameerei (Pic, 1900), widespread in all China including Taiwan. |

| Yes, they seem to be identical; except the colour, which is without any green pattern (it is really constant by all my specimens from Dequin - 50ex). It also seems to me that elytra of males of my lamerei are less parallel. |

You are right: I misinterpreted Plavilstshikov's key that stated (translation from German): "elytra green, at the sides largely copper-golden or purple".
I though elytra green with golden border or [entirety] purple, but maybe "purple" is only referred to the border.
I keep looking... |
