Given that, a Telphusa species seems possible. #1859 - Telphusa sedulitella is a possibility. Though again out of range. As it turns out, I had another specimen for this past week that I hadn't yet identified. Your suggestion led me to T. sudlitella. I just submitted it at . Please take a look and let me know what you think.
