I'd say so Michael, many images on ALA look identical. Thanks for your efforts here...

Hi Pirom, the specimen arrived safely, many kind thanks! Now that I have the specimen in hand I have been able to compare it with my curated Temognatha specimens and I advise this is actually Temognatha affinis, so is neither Temognatha limbata nor as I hoped, Temognatha sanguinea. Nevertheless I very much appreciate the chance to sort this one out and provide definitive ID herewith. All the very best, Allen.
Temognatha affinis
