Penthe pimelia? - Penthe pimelia
Cypress, Harris County, Texas, USA
October 5, 2014
Size: 16mm
This is the first time I've seen this species at the local woods, which is usually dominated with Alobates sp.
A few of these (~5) were resting upside down under a log and scurried away quickly when it was lifted.
