Acrotylus (patruelis) ?

Image

Acrotylus sp. to me, based on the bulging eyes, leg pattern, overall pattern, and shape of the pronotum (is rounded here as opposed to more "V" shape in other Genera), but no good info. on the diff. in A. diana vs. patruelis. -O-

Compares pretty well, to my eye, to the pics in the links I posted prev. for patruelis 0:
