Compsocerini tribe: genus Mombasius Bates, 1879.
Most probably Mombasius aeneipes Auriwillius, 1913 (male).

Some databases say Callichromatini, others Compsocerini. The original descriptions and texts by Bates, Aurivillius, did range the genus among Callichromatini.
Callichromatini have closed procoxal cavities; in Mombasius, they are wide open - a major character for Compsocerini.
