This one was surprisingly straightforward to identify. The lack of a sclerite at the base of the lateral hump narrows the field quite a bit, and the other options followed fairly obvious characteristics to Clostoeca, which only has one species, Clostoeca disjuncta.

Mohinder-
Jason may still be on his honeymoon as he hasn't posted for quite a while. However you should be able to add it via the photo forum, and if you have any trouble, I'd be happy to help you get it posted.
