 Thanks Igor. Do you think the genus is Poecilobothrus then?

 Violet spot on mesonotum, strong posterior bristle on mid femur apically and convex M vein are characteristic of Poecilobothrus. Outside Europe, the two genera are poorly distiguishable.

 Dear Jfdocampo,

The only way to stop guessing and arrive at a valid and certain ID, I am afraid, is to collect some of the specimens and send them over to a specialist.

Cheers,
Marc
