received mail recently from buprestid authority Peter Lang (via I-Naturalist); it reads
"This matches syntype material of Melobasis pretiosa at the SA Museum (and M. fasciata is a junior synonym of M. pretiosa). It is not the same as M. sexplagiata. See: https://syzygium.xyz/buprestidae/species.php?species=Melobasis_pretiosa"
