Another similar one is Macraspis olivieri, but main body color is not exact the same one, but the yellow borders looks fine. Variability? Other species?? http://belezamanaus.wordpress.com/2012/0...... http://www.europeana.eu/portal/record/11...... http://www.flickr.com/photos/dynastor973......
We don't know much about this beetle

We do not know yet what exactly it is.

Scarabaeidae, Rutelinae, Rutelini, looks like being a Macraspis sp., but I am not 100% sure about the genus.
