Miksicus acuminatus A Collage This is one of two nice Cetoniinae I saw in Yogya&#039;s Taman Sari Water Castle. It seems to be Miksicus acuminatus (aka Urbania acuminatus) but I did not collect the specimen for genital examination and I&#039;m no expert for these, let alone in that part of the world, so correction is always welcome.
