Almost looks more like Holcocranum saturejae to me:



Let's see what the experts have to say.

 
I see what you mean
Ken -- I wasn't even tracking Holcocranum saturejae as a possibility. Then I looked at (the only) other Artheneid choices, and noticed that H. saturejae's thoracic pattern is a better match to my specimen. And then I saw your comment and give you a big shout out for the correction. Thx!
