It looks like the dorsal spot on A7
is smaller than the one on A8, which, if we understand the new Wagner correctly, means this is S. latifascia rather than ornithogalli???

I'm going to have to leave it up to you all. I'm stumped.
I don't have the new guide (yet!), and searches are not helping me. Good news is that the cat is thriving, and hopefully will make it to imago.
