Looks like a species of Perga, but does not match any named one in ANIC.

Yes a Perga sp.....? Matches this one- Perginae sp. (subfamily) (Unidentified pergine sawfly)

I'm speculating these are extreme melanistic form of Perga vollenhovii. Nothing else seems to match.
Refer- https://southernforestlife.net/notes/2024/6/26/perga-species-identification

Or is it an undescribed species? If You can collect one next time Helen and send to ANIC?
