Neoerethistes cyanipes (CHAMPION, 1903)
The length of the front limbs and their bluish tones are characteristic of this species and not of the genus Cholus, in addition to the shape of the more cylindrical elytra and not so conical and the size is a little less than the average of Cholus discolor.
Very similar to one I posted this week - same genus maybe?
