@MarkH Thanks Mark, I made a hasty decision and didn't scroll down enough to look at other options. Still learning Jewel beetles. Mostly leave these to Stuart. :-)

Hi abread111, they have different striae on the elytra and the elytra apices are also different. You would also notice the quite marked difference in the pronotum between them ( you can’t see this in your photos). Cheers
