Acanthocephala confraterna (tentative) - Acanthocephala terminalis

I have tentatively identified this as Acanthocephala confraterna, but it might also be terminalis.

Moved
Moved from Acanthocephala. I agree Hannah´s opinion, that the characters of terminalis are found in this specimen.

I believe this is is A. terminalis
based on the details in the key at this University of Florida site. Especially the tubercles on the pronotum and the connexivum visible from above.
