Hello again.
This looks to me like Oxythyrea, but after checking the list, there is nothing similar. The size is 13mm and it was feeding on Eucalyptus.
Anyone ?

It doesn't seem to be an Oxythyrea. Maybe a small Aethiessa ? Are elytras and pronotum hairy ? Aethiessa floralis can go from 13mm to 21 mm (without head and pygidium). If it is a male, a view of the aedeagus could be helpfull... Stéphane |

| 12.5mm with head and pygidium, long black hair on pronotum as well as elytra on its sides. Aedeagus - no way I would make a photo of it

Maybe Aethiessa martini ? But, it really needs a confirmation by someone else ! Stéphane |

After looking at a specimen sent by Zdeno, aedeagus is floralis one's, but, punctuation, and other small details are very differents from my other specimens of this species. So, I have put it with my A. floralis, but ith a big "?"... The genus is sure... |

In particolare in Marocco, da una località all'altra le popolazioni possono avere caratteristiche totalmente diverse. |
