Once again, thank you for these resources John Carr!
This was quite the puzzle, but I believe this could be one of the genus
Rymosia. I found the following key for this genus:
http://www.online...a_sp_n.pdf. My only doubt is the apical brownish colouration of the hind femora. They start with either a basal brown spot or femora completely yellow…
However, if his fits "hind femora completely yellow", or maybe just without the basal brown spot, then with a lot of struggle I key to either
R. affinis or
R. fasciata. I believe this is a female, which makes the ID a bit harder. The doubt is in the use of "second proepisternal". I assume this is about the
setae groups of
upper and
lower, where "second" refers to the "lower" group? If so, this would not be visible I believe (anterior above front coax).
I tried my best, likely made a lot of mistakes... but learning.
