Looks like Chrysotimus.

Dear,

This is certainly not a Chrysotimus, but the male of a Diaphorus, a genus which an overwhelming species diversity in the Neotropics.

General remark: I have witnessed in several messages that some of the colleagues tend to reply with a best guess which are sometimes largely, if not, entirely wrong. I would propose that only a guess is made when the replier is absolute sure about this guess (either on genus or species level). In this way, at least the requester ends up with some useful information.

Cheers,
Marc
