Coptotomus
probably C.venustus but may also be C.loticus

Coptotomus
I agree, this is Coptotomus. The angle makes the shape appear odd, but the coloration is correct. In particular the black areas on the pronotum are what is found in Coptotomus, but not found in any Laccophilus here

May be not...
After much consideration, this one looks small judging by the thread of the sheet behind so it probably isn't a Coptotomus. And also it is too oval (not elongated enough for a Coptotomus). Then it probably is a Laccophilus!
