This was beaten from birch. As far as I can tell the distinctive pattern on the elytra is found only in this species (although the species is variable and not all are as distinctive) but I did key it out just in case I was wrong about that.

This was netted in flight. The pair of red spots nearer the apex were very indistinct.
