Hello Juri, It belongs to genus Acolastus, as I think. There is a recent work from Matthias Schöller about this genus in Arabian peninsula (8 species), open in the Internet. With an identification key and some photos. In Oman 4 species. You can see here: https://www.academia.edu/38120922/Two_n ... cephalinae G. |

Thank you George. With the key of the article above I think: Acolastus substriatus (Medvedev, 1996) to 51% or Acolastus loebli Schöller, 2018 to 49%. One of them but I have only this specimen. I have to examine the aedeagus if it is a male. Of course a specialist of Chrysomelidae will be able to say more. I hope he will pass by here ... |

Really, it is hard to choose between these 2 species. PS. It is very strange that Gerstaecker decided to give the name "Acolastus" to this genus. This is a Greek word (ακόλαστος), meaning "lecherous", "libertine" or "without moral barriers" !!! George |

George I think he probably saw something like this: I found this photo here: https://www.bing.com/images/search?view ... 003&sim=11 |
