Another Agrilinae from Zambia. I think this one is an Agrilini and not a Coraebini. Size : 6,5mm

Coraebinae too. The Agrilinae has 2 lateral carinas on the pronotum (marginal and submarginal carina) and more or less a small prehumeral carinae at the posterior angles of the pronotum.

Thanks for your very fast answers, but with a hundred species in Africa, impossible to go further.

Most of them are without white hairy spots. Species similar to this one are not too many. Unluckily, I have never seen most of them, and also my bibliography on African Meliboeus is quite poor.
At this moment, I can say that species marked with + are surely with hairy white spots, with about the same look of yours, but I don't know how many others are similar to those species.
