This is the second Diogmites sighting, also in the vicinity of Paramaribo.
Thanks in advance for your comment.

Probably Blepharepium cajennensis (same as "Diogmites 1"Wink but somewhat discolored on scutum (or a color variant?). Enlarge image to see if scutellars present (Diogmites) or absent (Blepharepium).

This is a crop with a little additional sharpening. I don’t think I see any scutellar marginal bristles but I don’t trust my untrained eye on this issue.
