I cannot tell the difference between L. arisema (including conjectured nearby undescribed species) and Telecrataes melanochrysa. BOLD doesn't help, as all 8 sampled specimens of T. melanochrysa did not achieve a barcode. ANIC has the whiter specimens under L. arisema, but all ACT specimens under T. melanochrysa. Suggest park under L. arisema until we know more.

Agreed, yes the species seem very similar - but I wonder whether the length of the antennae could be a guide. The antennae are quite long in this specimen.
