I think yours is the same genus Stephen. According to Peter Marriott these are difficult to identify accurately because of "undescribed species and the confusion in collections". I need to look at other resources to confirm my ID. Will keep yours in mind...
That makes this one of mine a possible close but no cigar? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/417...
