Hi,
Why is it a Meliscaeca auricollis? Not that I don't believe you, just curious :)

The bands on the abdomen should fully reach the lateral margin in
cinctella in here they are large (if the wholy) free from the lateral margin. Also, the markings in segment 2 should be smaller in the other species.
