I suspect, but am not certain, that this is a different Garrha species.

OK. from what I can see online Garrha sp. are difficult to identify.. However I had thought this specimen looks similar to several of the spotted G. leucerythra specimens on Bold Systems 4 and to one of the specimens already identified as such on CNM. Not a very sharp image, but the RHS antenna seems to be finely annulated as many Garrha spp. are said to be.

Yes, Prionocris are similar. But I think Garrha sp is a reasonable place to park it.
