Schinia sexplagiata
Copyright © 2015 Donald R Riley

Schinia sexplagiata
Terlingua Ranch lodge, Brewster County, Texas, USA
October 18, 2015
Size: WS about 40 mm
I found no images here and only one pinned specimen at MPG where they had a record from Presidio Co., TX. I also paged through all the Schinia and did not find a better match. Found at light. Wing Span was estimated by counting the # of threads per mm. 15 threads measure about 5 mm.

Donald, I went through all of the Schinia spread plates and I think you are right, but not being an expert, I would like confirmation before creating a species page.

Thank you Robert. If you do not want to do it, I will work on a species page. I am sure yours are better then mine.

I am impressed with how quickly you all who are experienced can do that!

I appreciate your generosity and will look forward to receiving it! I really need to get better since I keep stumbling across specimens that need one!
