Identification
|
This
species is sexually dimorphic. The males are typically all
metallic-dark, only very rarely the pronotum can be partially orange-red.
The females are similar, but always have an orange-red pronotum, that sometimes can have black edges.

Biology
|
Some
authors believe this species to be active only during the night. At
least the female that I photographed in Frankfurt (see photos on the
right) was found sitting on the upper surface of a leaf in the bright
sunlight, which suggests that at least females are not exclusively
nocturnal.
