OOPs--details?
Oh dear, looks like I messed up this one. I thought I keyed it correctly with Slater. Could you describe any characters that tell you it is Euschistus? That would be helpful.

Many thanks for the correction.

Thanks, roger that!
I see the error of my ways now, thanks to your comments and a careful examination of the key in Slater (1), which is what I should have done originally.
