Hydrophilid
Either Cymbiodyta or Enochrus- the difference between the 2 lies in the # of segments in the hind and middle tarsi. Enochrus has 5, with the basal segment very small and Cymbiodyta has 4. In my opinion this might be Enochrus but sometimes the basal tarsal segment can be difficult to make out without a microscope or hand lens.
