Curated specimen from the Essig Museum - Physoconops excisus - Male
Douglas County, Kansas, USA
June 17, 1951
Dorsal view.

Note the distinct "complete post-vertical pollinose stripe" (= thin, bright, "dust"-like, stripe extending behind eyes and connected without interruption across the upper hind edge of the head)...which is a diagnostic character of P. excisus (and also P. townsendi...and sometimes P. bulbirostris). The complete post-vertical stripe is also clearly visible in the 1st image of the series.
