ID was suggested as Pharochilus rugiceps on iNat by owen_seeman with the explanation being: "The short antennal lamellae mean its Pharochilus, as does the locality. The frontal area and mentum look like P. rugiceps, which is the most common species (P. politus is the only other one I'd expect, and it does not seem as common and has a different frontal area)."
Tried to put the ID in as a suggestion but does not seem to have worked. Apologies if out of line putting in a different ID but thought should add this info just in case.
