This is a Protaetia, probably cuprea, and probably ssp. brancoi.
Could you tell me if there are white places one the median knees ?

No problem for Protaetia (Netocia) cuprea. I think this is the ssp. brancoi which occurs in Canary Islands.

Could you show me a wing ? This is the only way for confirming the ssp.

I don't know how to take a picture of their wings  Is there only P.c.brancoi on the Canary Islands? |

I am not really sure about the subspecies. No problem for P. cuprea, this is the only one with this pattern.

If they are dead, you can open one wing. If they are alive, it's more difficult !

No problem. Protaetia(Netocia) cuprea brancoi Baraud is good!!
