Topotype of Acrocera stansburyi from the CAS collection - Acrocera stansburyi - Male
Stansbury Island, Tooele County, Utah, USA
July 13, 1913
Unfortunately, the CAS specimen here was missing its antennae.

Also, the wing venation is difficult to discern in my image. But upon close scrutiny, it can be seen to agree with that of the type image from the MCZ. In particular, vein R2+3 is present here. The wing venation here similar to that of A. subfasciata, but differs from that of A. convexa which lacks R2+3.
