Hi Larry, the cicatrice-like lines on the pronotum seem to be quite typical for this recent species, very distinctive on the HT female that your site is showing. Thank you!

(Imagine: this male has been collected in 1900 (!), 119 years before it's description, and has seen passing by quite a lot of events and history...)
