Exothecinae/hormiinae group
note the small size, brown/black coloration, sclerotized portion of first tergite, and unsculptured succeeding tergites.

Occipital Carina
Dr. Marsh wonders if it is possible that this dorsal view showing the occipital carina is of a different specimen than the other views.

 
No, this is the same specimen
No, this is the same specimen. Under microscope, the yellow on pronotum is as bright as on the abdomen. On the side view, the lasts segments of abdomen are darker that they appear on photo.

 
Thanks
I'll let Dr. Marsh know.
