Adoceta ignite
after searching by Art Evans and finding by Michael Geiser, Adoceta ignite Green 1950. But it seems it's now Lygistopterus ignite

That's Lygistopterus ignita
"Ignite" is what the mountains have done to keep you from collecting more:) I just read your blog entry detailing this wonderful find. Please let us know if the genetic testing mentioned prompts a change, but it's formally in Lygistopterus now, it seems. I'll ask Art if we should make an L. ignata page for it.

yes, I have the paper
with the name change of the genus. But it's a little weird because they did not take the US species into account. We will send specimens to the Bacok group to analyze.
about ignite (typo of course but, yes, Freudian) : they were in an old burn area and right now the mountain is burning again
