Moved
Moved from Mesostenus thoracicus.

Sorry, Ross placed this to the wrong subfamily, which caused further keying to result in an erroneous ID. Antennae are too long for a male Mesostenus, and the mesoscutum both has the wrong proportions and lacks the strong notauli found in Mesostenus. In terms of coloration, the scutellum lacks the characteristic white outlining (being instead entirely white, or nearly-so), and the pleuron is entirely white instead of fulvous to black.
