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...
