something other than O. pusillus?
Downie and Arnett only list O. pusillus for this local, which has the seta as this one does. But the hind pronotum angles appear different on this one (see ), and the color is more black than described for O. pusillus. Could it be something different?

but then I'm not very familar with Platynini to begin with.
