Moved from Atymna.

I thought I'd move this back to the tribe to see if anyone can tell which genus it is for sure. And/or species?

could it be Cyrtolobus dixianus instead?

That certainly looks like a better match

Could be...
Females of Atymna helena look very similar to those of C. dixianus in the shape and coloration of the crest. Indeed, Wallace 2011 did not recover either of these genera monophyletic in his analyses, with C. dixianus arising in a clade with some Atymna. These genera are in desperate need of revisionary attention.
