species
Looks like only D. stonda and D. tistra are found on the west coast. Not sure how to tell the difference beween those two! Thanks for getting me down to genus. :D

Decantha
You are right, I neglected to note your location and gave you the eastern species from my area in PA. Just found out that even here it isn't clear since there is another eastern species, and there may actually be others. It may possibly require dissection to determine yours (and species from my area as well), a process which I haven't gotten myself into so far.
