Corimelaena marginella Dallas, male
Moved from Corimelaena. ID'd from specimen, now a photo-voucher. Thanks Lisa.

This is definitely either marginella or harti. I lean towards marginella because the sides of the head appear somewhat concave before eyes, although only when viewing the head from straight above. The form of the hyopygium I think is also consistent (I don't see it being "doubly emarginate"). I've updated the size from 2 mm to 2.5 mm.
