It`s possible... but it's very small, less than 2 mm.. and the Malachiidae beetles loooks more long legs... by other side, the pronotum resembles more Malachiidae than Anthicidae...
Thanks by the approximation, Black.
Somebody know more?

I do not see the soft ?lytres of Melyridae=Malachiidae, to see http://www.insecte.org/forum/anthicidae-notoxus-sp-anthicidae-notoxus-monoceros--vt16366.html?highlight=anthicidae

But I do not know rien, there.....souvent Malachiidae are always green or green and red or smallest red even Genus Axinotarsus

Or black...

But Notoxus species have a horn in the pornotum. This one don't have any horn.

Here is the answer of Robert Const., an french expert in Malachiidae and related beetle families:
"Attalus pictus (Kiesenwetter, 1850) : Spain and French Pyrenes-Orientales"
Best regards
Frank

PS. Are there better (larger) pictures of this species?

THAAAAAANKS!!! I think that it was impossible to identify!

Is curious that this beetle that I caught at Meditrerranean coast was cited in mountain habitat (Pyrenees), I think that it can be a similar species in the same genus.

Sorry, this is the only picture that I have. You can see that the beetle lost his antennae Shock

Really I think that was an Anthicidae!

Sad What you are talking about, Isidro??? Why should a spanish beetle - with doubtless coloration and id - not occure at the southwest coast of france? Delete the cf., find this species again and take a better photo Wink Greetings Frank

Oh! Sorry, I understood that occurs on the Pyrenees, at mountain habitat. I don't know that it occurs also at coast. In these case, the identification is much more sure. Thanks again!
