Limnichidae? - Ephistemus globulus
Roseville, 38.7227, -121.2993, 50 m elevation, Placer County, California, USA
May 27, 2020
Size: 1.1 mm
Taken from 20 watt UV light bucket trap.

Would like to get to genus & species, but unable to make it fit to any genus keys. What am I missing?

Characters not obvious in pictures mentioned in Arnett (1) & Wooldridge (2).
-- Prosternal process is without a median longitudinal sulcus. It is shiny and smooth (bright line in photo is a reflection) from base to front.
