Pectotoma hoppingi Hatch - Pectotoma hoppingi - Male
Valles Caldera, Sandoval County, New Mexico, USA
July 1, 2014
Size: 4.1 mm
An unusual Scraptiid I didn't recognize with those flabellate antennae. Darren Pollock ID'd it for me. Collected by others using a malaise trap between July 8 and 29. A new genus for the guide and maybe a new record for New Mexico.
