Thanks Ross. Should a new species page be made for P. albihirta?

 
Well…
The literature mentions only one NA species in this genus. That being said, when Dr. Grissell identified the Pennsylvania specimen back in 2014, he might not have been able to confirm the species because the biology is just not known for it. From what I've read, it's still not known today, so leaving it here seems sensible for now.

Platykula…
Probably P. albihirta.
