@donhe I don't think it is a match with Bida radiosella which according to BOLD had more solid stripes and much more prominent palps.

Thanks Ian but I don't think that is it as that one seems to be speckled without the stripes

Yes, too stripy, but it's the best I could find so far.

Thanks Ian - I have spent hours looking for it - suspect it is rare or undescribed
