Actually many Boreonectes were reassigned to other genera by Fery and Ribera (1). Since Tim think that these could either be coelamboides or panaminti, then they now fall under genus Mystonectes.

This is a Boreonectes- the sculpture of the ventral surface (coarse, almost confluent punctation) is not typical of Coelambus.
More specifically this is either B. coelamboides or B. panaminti but the distinguishing characters are not visible in the photos. Also see here for additional comments about the taxonomy of these 2 species. Nice find though!
