 Probably Pentaneurini. Superficially resembles some North American Larsia but the structural characters to ID are not visible (e.g. the genus has a very small lump on top of the thorax).

 Thank you John. I don't normally post pics of these but thought this was such a distinctive looking little guy that I thought I would give it a try. A couple of closer shots, but I don't think it helps...Frown

 If you can capture specimens, a PhD student in Brazil is revising Larsia and could use more material. He would give you a name, or create one, assuming you do have Larsia.

So it does. Never mind then.

Larsia is more common in North America.
