Awesome - thanks to you both! I will either send Dr. Mockford the specimens (all four) directly or through CAS - will get it to him ASAP. I will likely find more of these critters in later samples from this trap that I haven't yet sorted.

Mockford weighs in ...
This is a Valenzuela in the flavidus group, but I can't get it to species. The dusky color and the pterostigmal spur vein set it off from anything else in the area. If you can possibly get a specimen of it sent to me, I would really appreciate it.
