Anambodera sp.
This one is in the Anambodera gemina group. George and I are working on a number of new species and would love to see more from this site! Very nice!

There are no vittate species described from Solano County, so I would suggest that this is something new that need to be looked at. Good find! The nearest described species is Anambodera nebulosa from Napa Valley. As the name implies it has a more broken pattern, not the sharp lines of this one.

I assume the specimen is around 4 mm?

Yeah... not to try to make things more difficult, but could you gize measurements to the specimens you're posting. It'll make ID'ing 'em a lot easier. See you in a week or two

Thats fine, I'm waiting to get a measuring tool that will give me the exact sizes of my specimens. This specimen is about 3 or 4mm. Aren't we going collecting on the 18th?

Superficially it looks like Anambodera gemina, but that species is only found in the region of San Bernardino Valley.
