Yes.
I'd say Anthocomus again.

thanks Eric
for all your comments. I'll see if I can pin it down further by looking at Essig specimens. I needed a family to start with, and having a genus helps a lot too!

Malachius ?
Essig has no Anthocomus species but it has several Malachius species that look like my melyrid.

This discussion suggests that the two genera are synonymized. I don't know...
