Apparently is a Cylas robustus Faust. Even this not so rich-species genus is today unrevised, so any identification can be wrong. Enzo |

Thanks a lot! I used the approach that I call "shamanism" and came to the same species! First, I got a article "Wolfe - 1991 - The Origin and Dispersal of the Pest Species of Cylas with a Key to the Pest Species Groups of the World". It contains a list of all species of the genus and an identification key for sweet potato pests. My species is definitely a non-pest species. Further, I excluded species if I found their first descriptions and it did not match, or if (totally unscientific) they were called "aeneus" or "nitens" (a hint of a metallic coloration of the body). As a result, I settled on C. robustus Faust
