brown lacewing - Sympherobius umbratus

brown lacewing - Sympherobius umbratus
Cove Point, Lusby, Calvert County, Maryland, USA
June 10, 2019
keyed out to Sympherobius umbratus using Dr. Oswald's key to this genus (1). Sisyra ruled out by the branching pattern of the radial veins.

Couplet #s and character states from the key:
1) partial key based on forewing characters (vs. male genitalia)
2) radial crossvein present
3) "radial crossvein joining R2+3 to R4+5" (vs. "joining R1+2+3 to R4+5")
16) "Longitudinal veins uniformly dark brown, setal spotting absent, membrane uniformly dark brown" (vs. "Longitudinal veins with distinct setal spotting (at least proximally), membrane hyaline with irregular brown maculations" leading to S. amiculus).
