it's Epuraea alright, we just keep this sp. under its old name

has to be much closer to 2 mm, though; what's the thread count?

Moved from Epuraea.

It is 2mm.

When I measure them live, sometimes movement makes it hard to get proper length.

ok, thanks -- so it's settled: E. (H.) luteola

Andrew Cline is revising the NA fauna of the genus and i'll update the guide once the paper is available

Vassili and Brad are better at getting a species-level ID for you!
