Diceroprocta olympusa - ABSOLUTELY!
Diceroprocta olympusa - ABSOLUTELY!
The first id was right! - D. olympusa!

33 mm is slightly more than an inch (=2.54 cm, or 25.4 mm!)

T. figuratus is approx. 2 inches + in overall length!

Too small
I agree, if the measurements are accurate then this is way to small to be T. figuratus and is in fact D. olympusa. Click here to see a side-by-side comparison of T. auletes, T. resonans, T. figuratus and T. walkeri. This image is published on my web site and thanks goes to Kathy Hill of U.C. Storrs for providing me with the image.

Tibicen figuratus
I admit that I do not know D. olympusa, but the short wings do not look like those of Diceroprocta. The shape and color match those of Tibicen figuratus.
