I received this specimen with a series of Clytus niveipictus; but compared with the rest of the set it seems different.
Can you confirm niveipictus?

Probably, you mean Chlorophorus nivipictus...

It should be a female of Chlorophorus dominici Sama, 1996 (cf. here).
I do not know if this is a true species or a form of C. nivipictus.

Well, put side by side dominici and nivipictus show differences especially on the white apical band. In addition to this nivipictus seems to be quite stable.
Thank you!

Chlorophorus dominici is a good species. I think this one is a dominici.
Generally, nivipictus have only a middle spot on elytra not a large band.

It is C. dominici Sama, 1996 absolutely.
