Moved
I thought the material and shape of this one was a bit different than what I've seen before. If we get lucky, maybe the specimen can be identified to species.

thats a neat case
Probably another Pycnopsyche - so far a couple species are reported with triangular cases. In your part of the world at least P. gentilis. But one definitely shouldn't use cases to determine species.
