looking at Munari & Mathis 2010. Not to say that taxonomy is a democracy

 
Neat, thanks for the ID!
would any further pictures help?

 
Images
I will be able to confirm the genus when I get to my office but I won't be able identify the species. If you have other good images they would certainly not hurt to have.

 
thanks!
I don't have any but I certainly could take more if you need any to ID to genus

Dorsocentrals
Trixoscelis has 2+3 dorsocentrals. I count 1+3. If you count 2+3, check the recent revision(1) for more details.
