ID confirmed by R.L. Beiriger
"This is Prostephanus arizonicus Fisher. It is very far outside of its know range. I have collected it in the Davies Mountain and the few other Texas records are from West Texas. Most records are from the Chiricahua Mountains in Arizona. There are no know hosts that I am aware of."
ha! great find, as i suspected. =v=
