Please help to ID this Xystrocera from RSA: Limpopo province.
Body length - 23 mm

Trying to use this key, my opinion that it's X. erosa
But I confused if I should consider it as Group 4 (metallic colour of elytra) or Group 1 (because I have more specimens with same pronotum sculpture and dull colour of elytra with narrow green margin)



Here is the second specimen, as I think, the same species.

Indeed.
The former specimen belongs to the var. viridis Breuning.
