I get these mixed up too, the
I get these mixed up too, there are several species with different carinal patterns on the prothorax....the large rhomboidal cell in the center places it in Dictyopterus, and the bicolored elytra place it in thoracicus....but Dictyopterus has had a torturous taxonomic history involving Eros, Benibotarus, and now currently Greenarus by Kazantsev....so G. thoracicus is correct
