Species Yumachrysa unidentified-sp-texas - Yumachrysa unidentified-sp-Texas

Texas (Edwards Co., Bexar Co., Guadalupe Co., Travis Co.)

This species initially was suspected to belong to Ceraeochrysa due to its striped antennal pedicels, long antennae, and lack of a darkened pterostigma. However, it doesn't seem to align with any of the 5 species described in our area. At the lack of a better alternative, photos of this species are gathered together until their proper species (and perhaps generic) placement can be determined.

Further comparison of wing venation seems to point toward Yumachrysa instead, so the guide page has been moved in accordance. In Texas, only Y. apache is reported in the literature, but these are specimens are significantly greener than accessible specimens of Y. apache.

The potential occurrence of another Yumachrysa in Texas, Y. incerta, has been suggested by John Oswald's Lacewing Digital Library. The description of that species by Banks (1895) aligns in the following traits: yellowish face, entirely black antennae beyond the basal joint, darkish stripes and mottling on the thorax, and dark hairs on the legs.
