Good to see a dorsal shot here. (Months ago I'd bumped into the nice
lateral oviposition photo on Flickr.)
This is
Monoceromyia javana...for details (including links to keys, original descriptions, and more) see the comments thread below
this iNat post of M. javana.
[Note: For those who prefer to assign the rank of subgenera to the traditional subtribe-level groupings within Cerioidini...this would be best be referred to as
Ceriana (Monoceromyia) javana. Some might use the binomial
Ceriana javana -- but that causes much confusion among many people who might misconstrue the binomial as suggesting this is a member of the subgenus
Ceriana...and/or may think that
Monoceromyia javana and
Ceriana javana refer to separate species.]
