Moved from Hesperophylax.

Thanks, Dave.

Moved
Moved from Northern Caddisflies.

I'll try to get a better image of the genitalia.

Limnephilidae
Hesperophylax. enough of the genitalia can be seen to suggest it is a female of H. designatus but I cannot be sure.

 
Thanks for the genus ID
I've added a high resolution lateral view to help you confirm the species ID. Please note the "download high-resolution" button to see the image as submitted. Is it a female H. designates?

 
Hesperophylax designatus
The lateral view helped as the spurs/spines of the femur can now be seen.
