Voici P.breuningi la différence selon moi est au niveau des taches sur les élytres et en dessous sur les Sternites.

You are right Gerard, the number of the abdominal spots is different: there are two different species.
According to me, both males at the right should be P. breuningi.
The first at the left is another species of Parepepeotes.

So. Consistent with the character of the abdomen.
The bigger one fit P. albomaculatus will. Is that right?

I agree with you, the first beast is P. albomaculatus

Another difference can be found at the level of the central band of the pronotum.

Interrupted = P. albomaculatus

continuous = P. breuningi

I do not know if we can count on the spots on the elytra, which are variable in their extensions.
