Hi, This beetle came at the luminous sheet in Punjen, Thailand, on the 15 of June, 2015. Its size is 13 mm, its tarsi formula seems to be 555 (unless I am mistaken), and the incredible thing are these 4 jewel-like incrustations in its elytra. I have not the least idea of what family it may belong to. I would receive with gratitude any suggestion.  |

Helotidae is one of my preferred families, just after Buprestidae! |

After careful examination of the document provided by Dominique, it appears to be a female of Helota vandepolli. |
