It seems to me a female of Chlorophorus annularis (Fabricius, 1787) with a more developed pronotal pattern...

Yes, Francesco, this is probably right. My doubts come from the totally black legs (I have 4 ex. form this place, all have the same colour).
It makes me think of our good old Chlorophorus varius (black legs) and its ssp./form damascenus (red legs).

In Gahan's book (1906: 261) legs are described to be variable... I am more doubtful concerning the pronotal pattern.

Let me come back to the topic about this specimen, recently captured in Vietnam? Here the legs are red. The pronotum is the same.

It is a female of the same species.
After a quick check in the Web, the pronotum well corresponds to annularis while the legs are really variable. Probably, males sometimes have darker legs, as it occurs to the European Clytus arietis and its variety (not subspecies!) gazella.
