Yes
This is it. And the Adejeania genus is monotypic. Paradejeania is closely related and has one species with two subspecies and the one in Colorado is different from the one in California.

Tach
This is certainly a different species from the pictured Paradejeania. Much more elongate mouthparts. And I think that is a monotypic genus. May be related. I will have to check the catalog at home.
