not Holcostethus, i'm afraid; must be Thyanta custator
both the scutellar shape & the ivory speckles on hemelytra rule Holcostethus out; suggest double-checking the IDs in the MSB collection

I will,
it looks a lot like Holcostethus abbreviatus to me but, I don't know the difference. Thanks V

note the attenuated tip of the scutellum w/pale mid-line
(much broader, white-tipped in H. abbreviatus)
