Axarus
Axarus indeed -- the overall color and the black stripe on the thorax are distinctive. Unfortunately I don't know how to ID females to species. And males lack the black stripe so are harder to ID. If you can find some males, which lack the black stripe and have small brown bands on the abdomen, and get equally good pictures I might be able to figure out species.

Will John Carr automatically see this or should I contact him?
I'm unsure of the protocol
