    This lovely beetle seems to be part of Entimini tribe, may be Rhigus sp. ?

      Thanks for the comment! It is indeed Rhigus speciosus, and when I added the photo I created the species record for it. But I forgot to assign the species to the photo, as your comment made me realize. Done now. Posted 3 years ago
