What about the lack of spikes on the sides of the pronotum?

Yes, I can't see any sign of them in your images. Maybe they are absent in this species - I will check in ANIC next time I'm there.

I've finally got around to checking this. The spines are variable in this species - some have them, others (especially females and small specimens, it seems) have none at all.
