I would actually venture that
I would actually venture that this is O. lurida based on location and pattern. Jeff Cole and I work on Okanagana and this is a taxon we really had no hope of finding because its range is so far north. Would you consider sending us this specimen to help with our research? It's difficult, but there is the possibility of being able to extract DNA from an old specimen. Have you collected any more of this?
