HI!

I think this is Reedops pembertoni. Is this right?
Pygidium is looks like  Reedops, and eye facet is similar Reedops pembertoni. But I'm not sure..

The lens formula for Reedops pembertoni is a nearly perfect match with 18 lens files: your specimen is only missing a single lens in the 1st position of lens file 7. That lens shows a small font representing a diminutive lens in that position. In this case it is entirely absent. The numbers in the diagram indicate the lens frequency variability. The diagram represents a sample size of 23 specimens. The smaller numbers represent the number of individuals that have an additional lens or lenses in a vertical lens file.
