Moved from Sigmoid Prominent.

I moved these images back to the family level out of an abundance of caution. Although I think the Sigmoid Prominent is a very good match, I am not an expert, and there could be very similar species (perhaps species not even represented in BugGuide). I think it's safer to await expert confirmation.

That's fine.
Not exercising an abundance of caution on BugGuide can be a humbling experience.
