I happen to have 1 Policheta unicolor (a rare species here) :D and it does look very good ... it has:
- the facial ridge bristles
- hairy eyes
- short diverging apical scutellars
- lots of median dorsals on the tergites
- lateroclinate parafrontals
- 3 post-dc and post-acr
- excavation of T1+2 not reaching the margin

My only slight doubt is the colour - mine is very black but this seems to have a blue cast to it.

... so it is Policheta unicolor or something very closely related to it ;)
