Appears to fit the description of P. prasinus in Carne 1958 well, but I'm not familiar enough with the other species in the genus to be confident. I tried to set this species up in the NatureMapr taxonomy as a new taxon, but somehow it got registered as a shrub instead of a scarab beetle.

Thanks for your efforts over time Hauke; hopefully the glitch is easily remedied..? #michaelB

Thanks Hauke. I've moved the species into Scarab Beetles & left it for someone else to confirm. Maybe Kim Pullen can.
