Such a distinctive appearance. One would think easy to id to species but no.

No I did not mean your photo lacked any detail. Its a really good picture of a quite distinctive species of Praxibulus. It just that the key uses obscure morphological features that require a specimen and a microsope and is often dependant on males! There are 19 species so far described in the genus and many coexist locally. Perhaps AI will solve the day
