Cauchas not Adela
This is a species of Cauchas.
I expect Don Davis and Matt Medeiros will have a formal description of it in their Monograph of the Western Hemisphere Adelidae.

This is a good find, Aaron, and excellent pictures.
And thanks for giving the size of it.
Do you know the species of Phacelia it is on?
