Notes:
Male, like that of many Cryptines, with pale hind tarsi.
I worked this site quite hard in 2017 and saw a good number of these. Buathra laborator was the only large female Cryptine seen, and that was in good numbers too, so that’s most likely what it was.

The hind margin of tergite 2 fulvous.", so identified with a question mark.
The following literature was used to identify this find:
