Shaped like tribe Sophiini, but that is New World only. Minthoini? |

Thanks a lot, John. It sure does look like the Mintho rufiventris I found in my backyard in Belgium, but that seems to be a European species (although there are other Mintho species in Africa according to this source: https://zookeys.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=6072). I am curious of someone can confirm if this is Mintho or suggest another genus. |

It is not Mintho: the pattern on thorax has 4 vittae and the stalk to bend of median vein is lacking. Theo |
