sembra così simile a questa, viewtopic.php?f=143&t=84724, poi magari (certamente ) è tutta altra cosa,
Ciao Lucio

In fact, I suspect that both your one and the one on Gorodinsky's page are C. chloris. C. funerea assimilis should have the spots even smaller than C. chloris. Anyway I promise that I will try to study this subject more deeply.

I was just studying this matter: C. funerea assimilis is larger, with more parallel-sided elytra, much less hairy on head and pronotum and has the elytral marginal dots small and separate. C. chloris is smaller, stouter, more hairy on head and pronotum and usually has the elytral marginal dots larger and united. Also the color is different, being brilliant green in C. chloris, bronze or greenish, but always dull, in C. funerea. So both yours and that in Gorodinski's site should be C. chloris, in my opinion.

Have a nice evening
