Holcostethus, prob. tristis -- det. D.B. Thomas
his comment: "Need a ventral view to be sure."
toldya -- cool bug! thanks for the addition, Jim. Any chance you can add a ventral? quoi qu'il en soit, pls keep an eye out for them -- we need more pix of this bug.

Thanks V!
If I can find the specimen I will get a ventral view; and, hopefully, more specimens will be found.
