Labopella claripennis - male

Labopella claripennis - Male
Starvation Draw, Luna County, New Mexico, USA
August 18, 2020
Size: 3.4 mm to tip of wings
coordinates: 32.423, -107.713
Collected by J. T. Botz at UV and mercury vapor lights.

Det. by J. T. Botz as Labopella claripennis Knight, using Knight (1968)(1), and it matched the original 1929 description. This species appears to be rarely collected, although when it is found, it can be numerous. This is one of two specimens, both males, that came to my lights at this location.

A new genus for the guide :)
