Is the ID fine? Not sure if the eyes are hairy or not.

Hi Lorin, I think it's a Smidtia conspersa.

Eye is very hairy.
I don’t see why this would not be a male Phorocera: it is Ph grandis time at the moment !

Thanks a lot guys! I am not happy with posting the photos here without giving it a thorough try myself (with the Tschorsnig key), but I have very limited time right now, and I want to send some specimen for sequencing.
I even have the specimen but didn't find a spare moment to take further pictures. Glad for your help, will try to comprehend the ID in a calm moment.
