With the hooked spicule, it looks morelike Mallocera spinicollis? |

Sorry, no.
Look on my website. The syntype on the upper left has a very distinct (although much shorter) sutural spine.
Other species have a "spicule" at the sutural angle.
Your close-up seems to show a spicule at the sutural angle, yours might be Mallocera ramosa Gounelle.

Does this help?
I see that several other species have the elytral apices bispinose? Or am I missing something?
Thanks Larry.

Ben, while this is probably M. glauca,
I can't see the elytral apex along the suture.
M. glauca has the elytral apices bispinose.
