Pediacus from under bark of Abies magnifica - Pediacus ommatodon

Pediacus from under bark of Abies magnifica - Pediacus ommatodon
Marble Mountain Wilderness, Siskiyou County, California, USA
September 4, 2022
Size: 3mm
Denticle behind eye suggests P. ommatodon from https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=1047&context=insectamundi, but notes here are curious: "A single specimen in SBMN with label
data: ìCA: Tulare Co. 36.950o
N, 118.353o
W Sequoia
NF; Mosquito Mdw. vi.24.2003; M. Caterino under
bark Abiesî, cannot be placed. It is similar to P.
ommatodon, but the denticle behind the eye is about
twice as long. Unfortunately, it is a female and
resolving its status will have to await collection of
male examples."
