Lonchoptera .....Probably b
Lonchoptera .....
Probably bifurcata.
Yellow postocellar bristles and California distribution.
Bold Systems has the similar Lonchoptera borealis, which also has yellow postocellar bristes, distributed in eastern Canada but bifurcata
as widely distributed, including California.
Lonchoptera borealis is described as having the wings less pointed than
bifurcata. I have sent it to Dr. Martin Hauser.
See larger image for head bristles..
