ID
This appears to be Exoprosopa iota, one of the most beautiful in the genus. It is only found in Mexico and nearby parts of Texas. Nice catch!

Recorded
In KS and AR as well.

Range
This is of course possible, but I suspect the records reflect misidentified specimens. Where did you get the KS and AR data?
