A female of Efferia varipes? - Efferia - female

A female of Efferia varipes? - Efferia - Female
Start of unmarked side road off Indian Rd 18 at 2 miles N of Robbers Roost Tank, Coconino County, Arizona, USA
July 20, 2019
This female seems to match the description in Wilcox' 1966 key well, except that the tip of the very robust ovipositor appears a bit sharper than shown in his drawing. The location along the road to Frasier Wells and Supai is about 100 miles northwest of the nearest site (Sierra Ancha) mentioned for the specimens seen by Wilcox. If it is E. varipes then it would add the first confirmed images of the female in BG. I'll upload two shots next of a male varipes from the same spot.
