Possible... we should know whether the elytral apex is armed with a spine or not.

Francesco, I assume you are asking about a sutural spine,
and yes there is a distinct sutural spine on both of my specimens.

No, I asked about the marginal apex.
It should show a spine like this specimen.

OK, I have it now.

I would have to say no, there is no spine as in your pictures.

The external elytral apex is acuminate but there is no spine.

Most likely, it is Obereopsis obscuritarsis... I have to check the subspecies.
