B.P. your expertise is again required. This one looks like another #6823-Metarranthis angularia. It is almost but not quite the same as the 33mm spread Vargo speciman in MPG. Please have a look and advise accordingly. Thanks in advance.

Opinion is not Necessarilly Expertise....
.... it is not false modesty when I insist that I am not an expert. And I can back this up with a lot of expert opinions (from real experts). At best, I can offer only informed ? opinions.

I agree with your determination. So far as I can see only M. angularia has the ragged toothed appearance of the pm. line seen in your specimen. Nice photo.
