Body shape indicates . As to which variant, I'm not prepared to say.

Well, I can't really say for sure which of the Dekeyseria species that it is, but I would like to point you to this thread where Shane Linder gives some insight in the difference and similarity betweel L168 and L052, which are the two most likely candidates (which, according to Shane, may turn out to be the same species anyways).
