Gratidia sp. (conformans?)

   For the longest time, I thought this species was the same as Gratidia hispidulus (PSG 183), but it now appears to be very different.  The females have a much different coloration and patterning to them, while males seem somewhat similar to hispidulus.  If anyone can help me to identify them, I would appreciate it very much.
