between Protaetia fieberi and Cetonia aurata and Protaetia metallica

The aurata is well distinguished by the elongated and somewhat narrowed outgrowth of the midrib (between the basins of the middle legs), in protetes it is shorter, expanded and blunt at the end. Here is how these two prototheis differ, I would be interested to know for myself.

There is no difference between fieberi and metallica.

open, the same "green" and read, but in general, if you ever uvit fiber, then you will never confuse it with metallica

If "in your own" words (judging by what I caught):
the fibery is noticeably larger (like marmorata), rounder and smoother;
the bandages on the elytra are often absent;
lighter, shiny, with a yellowish/bronze tint;the
underside is reddish - bronze;
the process is noticeably larger and rounder (like marmorata);
the punctuation of the abdomen and hind legs is clearly visible from below.

Roman is right, when it is in the hands-it is impossible to confuse.

No, I didn't think I saw any of them.

So, something tells me that I haven't been fishing for aurata all these years. I'll check tomorrow.
