No, that was my bad, I see now, that subgenus doesn't need to be included. I have update, thanks bayucca.
Should be Anisorrhina sp., Melinesthes is the subgenus. Or do you have other infos?
Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae, Anisorrhina as genus and Melinesthes as subgenus. Species is tricky, since I am not really sure how trustable all the IDs are you will found. Quite common in RSA is Anisorrhina algoensis which is probably also yours, but I am not sure. There is a Anisorrhina elongata from Tanzania which could also be yours. There is also Anisorrhina sternalis. But I guess there are others around in Malawi. I am not really familiar with the biogeographics in and around Malawi.
