Saw this last month in Spain in Els Ports (Catalunya). Can't make it out. Who can?

Thank you.

Hello jonafly,

I would double check your ID against Dicranocephalus medius (Hemiptera) There are several Plant Bugs in this genera, all look very similar indeed. It is also an dull olive green with banded antennae and the same white spot markings.

As you have gathered, it's not a beetle. lol.

Well, until I get to a good library, it ends here because I can't find any visual information about the other ones like:
Dicranocephalus albipes
Dicranocephalus marginicollis
Dicranocephalus medius
Dicranocephalus setulosus.

So unless someone could attach images of the others, I'll just stick to 'Dicranocephalus species'
