If you have collected it, try these possibilities (in Italy): - rossii Germar: posterior angle of pronotum little obtuse, striae very deep, interstriae very convex, apex of elitra with 1st interstria more inflated than adiacent one, suture without apical linear edge; - coeruleus L.: posterior angle of pronotum not clearly obtuse, striae not so deep, interstriae less convex to almost explanated (females), apex of elitra with 1st interstria not more inflated than adiacent one, suture with apical linear edge connected with elitral margin.

Thank you for all your comments! Do we know if both species occur in Crete? That might also be a helpful clue. Matthew
