M. importuna male - Mecaphesa importuna -

East Park Reservoir, Colusa County, California, USA
February 28, 2017
Size: 3 mm

I beat this adult male Mecaphesa from a manzanita shrub along the Lodoga entrance road. It keys out to M. importuna in Schick 1965, and the markings and palp seem to match that species well. Comments welcome.
