Hmm, it's almost certainly a siphonine (looks right and seems to have converging sub-apicals) ... not Siphona but perhaps close to Ceromya or Ceranthia?

I found another angle. Both those genera were reviewed as Actia by Curran (1933). Conceivably this is his diffidens, but I'm not convinced. |

Hmm, the frons is very wide for Actia ... maybe Theo has seen something like it before?
