I think I've sorted these all out
Sorry for the extra moves. Essentially, the interfascial band tends to be whiter, broader, and straighter in tripartitana and always reaches the costa in both sexes. In glenni, the interfascial band has a pinkish tinge to it and tends to be a bit more jagged. The interfascial band usually reaches the costa in the female (making yours here a female E. glenni). In addition, glenni is more common in the midwest whereas tripartitana is more common in the southern states. Some of these were misidentied by myself and others, which probably added to the confusion. I think they are all correct now. Moved from Epiblema.

I'm starting to have my doubts about this one
The white interfascial band occasionally reaches the costa in glenni, but it is never as broad or straight as in tripartitana. glenni is much more common in the Midwest.

This looks more like Epiblema tripartitana
The white band doesn't reach the costa in glenni.

Thanks for checking it out Kyhl
Could this be a female? In that case this would apply to glenni

"In females, it continues forward to the costa as a narrower band"

Female glenni v. tripartitana
Looks like there's been confusion with some of these before. This similar image is still on the glenni guide page as the example of the female, though it's been moved.
