  Nice!
  
  Lambulodes brunneomarginata seems to match, although I don't know if it is a unique match. By available documentation, seems yes? Posted one year ago

    I agree. I can't say 100% that it's Lambulodes brunneomarginata , but it is so close! It could be the correct ID or else maybe a subspecies. It looks close enough to ID, in my opinion. Posted one year ago
