Right now, I can do no better than Exoprosopa. Did you collect any of these?

Exoprosopa at Falcon SP
No, I did not collect this bug. Maybe someone will know just who it is.
thanks, Fran

I think this is an undescribed species I will be describing which ranges throughout the Chihuahua Desert, from Portal, AZ to West TX, south to Zacatecas, Mexico. It is very large and the long wings are a characteristic feature. The race from Starr Co seems to have more white on the abdomen. That was throwing me off. Thanks for the post. As a side note, Texas leads all states in species of this genus, with AZ and CA close behind.
