Moved from Rhaphiomidas.

Hi Will :-)
I've been trying to learn more about Rhaphiomidas, and found a PDF for Mont Cazier's nice 1985 revision of this genus (see info page for PDF). Using that reference, I'd speculate that your specimen is Rhaphiomidas acton x maehleri.

Nice shot! Man, I'd like to see (and photograph:-) some of these in the field!

ID
Rhaphio certainly. There is probably only one sp. out at Lone Pine. Rick Rogers is the one to ask on this ID. I know he has collected that locality.
