I am in trouble with this Sternotomis. A relatively small (17 mm) and stout beetle.
With such spotty appearance and pronotal bands disrupted in the middle I can suggest Sternotomis flavomaculata, maybe Sternotomis flavomaculata virens.
Has anybody other idea? |

You are right, Jérôme. The size of the beetle, the arrangement of the spots in elytra, the pattern in pronotum (two spots in the center and a missing basal spot) confirms that. Our friend Breuning (1935) also agrees with us.
Thank you very much. |

Good evening
So I'm thinking more like S mimica close to the viridissima form. Look at your side?
It is not in my eyes S flavomaculata because it is a very large species and the arrangement of the spots is not the same.
Tell me what you think about it? |
