I am pretty sure, the photo by Ken Childs and Bob Patterson's photo of a female seems to match up nicely.

Are you certain Jacob? The black shading on the species in the reference link ends in a straight line but this one ends on the diagonal?

Please verify; P. rostrana is similar, but I don't think that is the species shown here.
