I am suggesting this is Castiarina livida, but in my mind I am thinking 'huh?' as normally the background colour in livida (the colour within the elytra as opposed to the dark foreground colour on the elytra which is only present in the outermost layers of the elytral chitin) is yellow not orange. Again, if I can inspect some males that will surely resolve my query. Cheers, Allen.
