Diogmites neoternatus
This is Diogmites neoternatus. Note the unmarked abdomen.

Coming back
To this. I cannot make it into anything other than properans. This may be the dominant Florida species overall. With the unconstricted abdomen, three dark thoracic stripes with the central stripe extending to the pronotum. Still great shots.

I thought you disappeared. Nice to see your name again.

Diogmites
I am not sure they have sorted out the properans and esuriens variations in Florida. Not sure there isn't a sneaky other species down there. D esuriens is supposed to have the less marked abdomen, like this one. But the thoracic markings look like properans. The problem is not with your shots though, which are excellent.
