The proonotum expands with a V towards elytra. It should be minutus, but check if the metacoxae have a sort of "waves in the sand" (stridulatori organs". |

Thanks a lot guys!  , I was thinking about minutus, too. I will check the metacoxae soon, but first I need to unglue the beetle  |

you should push down the metaleg. The stridulatory files, when present, are close to where the metacoxal process begins |

I can see some fine ridges, but I am not sure if they are stridulatory organs or not, probably not, so it should be minutus, right? |

the stridulatory files make a sort of arc of fine striae at each side of the metacoxal process, here I can't see them, therefore I confirm Laccophilus minutus (Linnaeus, 1758)
