The traditional name for staegeri is rondaniana, maybe it is as such on the NS list. In any case, it is a common species definitely present in NS.

As for the ID, I agree with eklans. The contrast on frons between white and dark is less extreme than in argyrocephala, a clear indication that this is staegeri.
