I think this is C. juncta, although C. vittata is another possibility. C. bartoni seems to have some black on the back of the head, and often a black marking on the pronotum.

After a thorough look at the various Calomela in ANIC, I can say this is C. vittata, based on the nearly straight inner edge of the green stripes on the elytra, the (barely visible) darkened punctures on each side of the pronotum and the black mark on the head.
