Chlorochlamys phyllinaria - female

Chlorochlamys phyllinaria - Female
Nature Conservancy, Davis Mtns., Jeff Davis County, Texas, USA
August 11, 2017
Looks a little different from the ones here at BG. D. Ferguson says the female has short palps, about as long as the male (see the male photo here at BG). He also says the female may have a brown front (of the head). He also gives the wing length of the female as 7-10.5mm. This one I measure as about 11mm. Also note the rusty legs. However I found no photos of one with the wings held above the body as many Geo's do. Comments about D. Ferguson are from Fascicle 18.1, MANA. The only other one I found similar was Nemoria albilineata which was collected in the Davis Mtns. and also the Chisos. Found at light. I believe these two images are of the same individual even if one was 30 minutes after the other one. Found at light. Comments here most appreciated.
