| Yes Gérard, and probably a form of Pterolophia (Lychrosis) zebrina (Pascoe, 1858). |

Breuning, 1965: "Die Tomentierung variiert bei dieser Art sehr beträchtlich. Die Zeichnungen sind zuweilen zumindest teilweise gelb oder ockergelb, zuweilen sehr stark reduziert, im Extremfall sind die weißen Zeichnungen völlig verschwunden bis auf je eine kleine Basalmakel auf dem Halsschild (v. reducte signata nov".
It seems my specimen is an intermediate form but not the "reductesignata". Also, I pay attention to the shape of elytral apex (see the "normal" one).
Thanks to both Gérard and Xavier.
Saludos

| It well corresponds to P. zebrina reductesignata Breuning, 1965... possibly a good species. |
