I am in trouble with this Sternotomis. A relatively small (17 mm) and stout beetle. With such spotty appearance and pronotal bands disrupted in the middle I can suggest Sternotomis flavomaculata, maybe Sternotomis flavomaculata virens. Has anybody other idea?

So I'm thinking more like S mimica close to the viridissima form. Look at your side?
It is not in my eyes S flavomaculata because it is a very large species and the arrangement of the spots is not the same.
