Hi Antonio
No, Pangonius micans is a Palaearctic species.
This one belongs to subfamily Pangoniinae, but not the tribe Pangoniini but to Scionini.
I'd need a specimen to tell you more

Your help was very important to me, Theo.
I've read in a paper published by the Federal University of Triangulo Mineiro, that in Brazil, the genus Fidena is most common in the subfamily Pangoniinae.
Could this be one Fidena sp.?
Sorry, but I just photographing the creatures that watch.
Thank you, Theo!
