Ocnaea boharti Schlinger, 1983 - Ocnaea boharti - Male
2 miles NE of Portal, Cochise County, Arizona, USA
November 3, 1960
Size: 10.0 mm
This is from a postcard sent to me by the late Ev Schlinger. It is an artist rendition of Mont Cazier's male specimen. The species was described from two specimens a male and female. I'm posting this in anticipation of several pictures of a recently collected female. That will make three known specimens!

Just added an info page link to paper describing this species
...and noticed the postcard Ev sent you is a beautiful(!) color version of the principle habitus figure in that paper.

Thanks for your post card post Dennis :-)
