Thanks Michael! What about Metapocyrtus cf. sumptuosus? Would that be a valuable ID or should we just take the genus name, i. e. Metapocyrtus sp.?

Thanks, @Michael & bayucca for the ID, will update it accordingly :)

Hi Albert, looks like you already have one more species of this colorful Weevil in your collection. To call it beautiful would be an understatement.....can't wait to see what other amazing treasures you will come up with :)
