    This was IDed on inat but I'm not entirely convinced. There are so many similar species in the Euchromiini, and the person is using a really old illustration as reference. To my eyes the photos on inat represent at least 3 or 4 species.
    So anyone has a better suggestion, I'm all ears!     Posted 2 years ago, modified 2 years ago

      Also seeing some subtle differences as well as a major one on some of those photos: orange legs. Posted 2 years ago

        Exactly. I'll leave the name as placeholder until someone comes up with a more convincing alternative. Posted 2 years ago
