Insieme a questa, sullo stesso fiore, forse il maschio della stessa specie

It for sure is not fulgurans. And also not podolica. But I am not very sure what it is. The males of A. fulgurans have all antennae black. The males of A. podolica have brown antennomerae starting from 6, but in this species the sexual dichromism is not obvious. It can be Anthaxia (Anthaxia) thalassophila thalassophila (Abeille de Perrin, 1900), but I never saw one "in person".

Thank you again.
Same as my other post, for me male of A. thalassophila.
Take a look here: male and female from my Region (Campania), the male is identical to mine, even the color of the antennae.

Ingrandendo la foto si vede meglio il rosso delle antenne per cui non vedo alternative a maschio di Anthaxia thalassophila.

Proprio così Giorgio, grazie per l'ulteriore conferma
