Phaenops sp., Kisanthobia??
It is very interesting specimen. It isn't Ph. marmottani, and P. knoteki. I think, it's Kisanthobia ariasi but it has usually green colour.

Buprestis rustica L.

[Acmaeodera]

NÉÉÉÉ.... ( NO )

[Roman Królik]

This specimen has transverse scutellum. Maybe it is female Eurythytea austriaca, blue form?
Other Buprestis-species I exclude.

[Acmaeodera]

I accept tribe Buprestini...

But its not Eurythyrea

[Roman Królik]

I don't see lustrous places on pronotum but maybe it's B. cupressi!

[Acmaeodera]

NO

[Acmaeodera]

WHATSTHATBUG ????????

Buprestis (Ancylocheira) xxxxxxxxxxxxx ssp. xxxxxxx

[Roman Królik]

B. novemmaculata gravida - it's my closing answer

[Acmaeodera]

Tak jest....
