Mark, since you were so kind to allow me to
use some of your images, I have been snooping around, and with me some entomologist friends ... this specimen keeps raising questions. in summary:
Doug Yanega: This is one of three things, and I'd rate their likelhood as follows: (1) zuniana most likely (2) angulifera ("typical" specimens - as opposed to "comanchei" -are somewhat similar to this), or (3) something that isn't presently recognized.
