Had a question about these beetles recently caught near Willcox AZ with a blacklight. Have never seen this color before.

Hello
I'm not very expert on the neartic beetles, but it doesn't look like a Chrysina. From AZ I saw a rutelinae that matches quite good with the ones of your photos, Cotalpa consobrina, but as I said I'm not very sure on this because I don't know very well all the variety of rutelinae occuring in Arizona.
Regards

Hello
Surely they are beatiful. They look like to have some kind of nice sheen on elytra when viewed at natural ligth.
