Found near this one:

I'm thinking it's a female of the same species.

Okay, thanks!

Anthopotamus myops
Hi Charlie,

When I confirmed the genus of this specimen some 16 years ago, I phrased it in an unfortunate way that seemed to confirm the species as well. However, this female imago lacks any infuscated crossveins in either the forewings or the hindwings. So, this is Anthopotamus myops and not A. neglectus (which has dark crossveins in both sets of wings, like the thumbnail specimen).

You collected two different Anthopotamus spp. that were emerging at the same time (not unusual). I should have been clearer, or perhaps I didn't click on the thumbnail before responding. My bad.

Best,
Lloyd

I'm thinking...
you are correct! This is the female Anthopotamus.
