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?
