another Stethorus, I assume? I can remove the right hind leg if anyone needs to see the other post-coxal line. Certainly looks more than 50% thru the sternite Suggestions welcome :)

I'd go with punctillum
The postcoxal line definitely looks more like S. punctillum than S. punctum. It's farther south than Gordon's mapped range, but ranges do vary and expand.

Thanks Abigail,
I need to come back and add some info to the species page, if you don't beat me to it. But it's moved for now.
