Looks close, but we always struggle with these
We're thinking this fits the description of Copivaleria grotei, Owlets, pg 336, better.

 
looks good!
thank you John and Jane, i have consulted the book you mentioned, and see that the white edge to the prothoracic shield is a key id factor for C. grotei. I will move the photos to that species.
