    Maybe it's a subspecies of Clinteria atra? I found this website, which shows several variations:

    https://www.insect-trade.eu/?category=cetoniinae&eshop=catalogue&page=5

    Starting on p.18 on that site, there is also the Glycyphana genus, which is similar. Although, Clinteria looks like a better match.     Posted 2 years ago
