@ bayucca, thanks a lot for taking your time. It is a really difficult one.

I talked to an expert and we should call this one only Oedemera sp. with mentioning the two candidates Lurida and Virescens in the description section. It is not possible to separate the females (it is a female) without magnification and/or microscopic examination.

Could be tough to separate the two! Need more time.

Be careful! I also have very bad ID days...
I will check.

Oedemeridae, Oedemera sp. and looks like Oedemera lurida. Similar to Nobilis, but more a greyish green. Even more similar to Virescens. Please, verify!! Do you have any other picture of it?
