Moved from Cuerna obesa.

Moved back to genus based on Dr. Hamilton's comment here.

Cuerna
The rather stubby wings suggest C. obesa, which has been recorded from TX, but the size is at least 1 mm smaller than this species (and all other red males in this genus).

....
The size could be off 1mm. It was in the grass and wouldn't hold still for very long.
