Afotella cylindrica
Hi Steve, Great i.d., Chuck just confirmed Afotella cylindrica on iN. I'm not sure how to change this?

Moved
Moved from ID Request. After placing this, I noticed this species is very similar to Afotella cylindrica. If we find that species is possible in Colorado, we might have to reconsider this placement. Perhaps you can run this one by Chuck Harp and see what he thinks?
