The wing tips are missing; can you find another one, and this time, keep the specimen? There's nothing like it in our collection.

 
Another.
Collected at a later date, again on Ericameria nauseosa. I'll visit the location this week and will save any found. Is 95% ETOH suitable?

 
Phlepsanus
Thanks for the specimens. I finally, finally figured out what it is, an undescribed species of the rarely collected genus Phlepsanus (which is probably a subgenus of Texananus) but much darker and more slender than the species I have seen so far, and with very different female genitalia.
