Hema - Some quick and easy online checking suggests you are correct. The count is seven, and "we have a winner." I have updated the spotting. Again, thanks for the ID!

i believe that one is counted as one.

I count seven, unless the "one" just behind the thorax is actually two because it is on both elytra.
