It's uncanny how much the two genera look alike and are almost spelled the same. From the pictures, I'd agree that this looks more like the Correbidia. Thanks bayucca.

Both species are existing! I think Correbia has more black/dark parts on the head, so for this one I would slightly tend to Correbidia.

Thanks bayucca. I wonder if these are two different genera or if one is misspelled.
