If it was frassed because my finger is in the pic, I'll explain that it's very, very difficult to get good images of Tetraopes because they are wary. They often drop from the plant or go underneath a leaf when approached with a camera.

are you SURE????
Is this not mandibularis? It doesn't appear to me to be femoratus or thermophilus because the mid-pronotal callus doesn't have sharp, nearly parallel edges. Annulated antennae rules out thermophilus, also. Please clarify.
