    This could be Odontocheila cayennensis. I can see white hairs on the femurs and am thinking that maybe the hairs on the front tarsi are hidden by the angle/shadows. The other features seem to match.

      Nice, thanks once again!
      Embarrassing that I missed this one since I've traversed that set several times.       Posted 6 years ago

        Ha! I have too, but decided to go back and look again. Glad I noticed it this time. I think my eyes glaze over after awhile and my brain goes into sleep mode... Posted 6 years ago
