Ferdinandea? - Ferdinandea croesus - Female
Presidio, Dragonfly Creek, San Francisco County, California, USA
August 13, 2019
Size: ca 9 mm
Caught in Malaise trap 10-17 August 2019. My first attempt at keying this out with Miranda, et al. 2013 failed miserably. I can add other pics as necessary, the dorsal abdomen appears to have a dark integument without a pattern but with the overlying golden pile.
