based on the key to the spp. of Nebraska(1), the critical diagnostic parts include mesotibia, hind leg, and the head; i think sharper photos of these parts may greatly help to get a positive ID

Glaresis revision
Dr. Robert Gordon and myself are in the beginning steps of revising Glaresis again (he did it back in the 60's). Should be able to put a name on this specimen, I will show him the images and if we cannot come up with a name, seeing the specimen in person may help at some point..
