    Hi Rui,
    Here are two keys that nicely supplement each other:
    http://www.coleo-net.de/coleo/texte/lachnaia.htm
    https://www.insecte.org/photos/archives/CLYTRINAE.pdf
    I'd say the pronotum is not blueish and the elytra are not smooth at the apex so it's not tristigma.
    To identify hirta mostly on pubescens is iffy as the hairs can rub off, but going by the other details listed for tarsi and antennae I'd say this would have to be paradoxa :o) (first tarsal segment longer than 2nd and 3rd, 3rd very deeply cordiform and antenna without tooth on seg. 4 ...)
    Cheers, Arp     Posted 7 years ago
