Leucrocuta minerva
Three striking keys i see is heavy black crossviens from the coastal brace to the stigma stain in the costal longitudinal veins. a strong stripe on the pleura and no black spot on the tip of fore femora. these feature are not found on L hebe, but are consistent on Leucrocuta minerva. it also has a notum stripe that minerva has. Leucrocuta minerva is also geographically right.
