Good afternoon

This one is also a thai meloidae with an "occidental look", caught one year later than the previous one ; the shape of the pronotum is different, and I would not risk any personal opinion about its genus. Size : 15 mm.
I am looking for any information, or any suggestion.

Actually your specimen seems superficially the Mediterranean species Zonitis nana, but it differs because of some characters. The genus was never recorded from Thailand and only few are known from eastern Asia.

Thank you very much for this information, which is very precious to me.
I infer from it that I can conclude by "Zonitis sp."

If you collected this specim and you can send it to me (or some detailed photos) I could try to identify it. Marco
