GI: There are minor variations between images seen in the first three references quoted above, iNturalist not being research grade is not taken into account as authentic as there are several varying images uploaded on it under this name,
However there are enough points in the descriptions between all the three sources that are common and seen in this specimen,
hence I agree that this could be Manoba melanota
