Found at the blacklight. I think this is the same species John S. was showing me on his camera.

I'm thinking Microprosopa

can't find a key though; will have to dig around for descriptions

Only two species

According to the 1965 catalog only two species are likely.

The male of haemerroidalis has red genitalia. Did you find a male? http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=479107.

The other is flavinervis. http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=596803. Description (I live at the type locality).

thanks John

I don't know if I found a male, but I'm pretty sure I have one or two more in my wet vial. I'll take another look at these once I get it sorted.
