systoechus
Started searching, found this one s.vulgaris that had nice perky antennae like mine had, and did seem a decent match too, turns out it was yours, so you probably already know about that one. Would comparing wing veination help narrow it down? I've actually got a few more shots of this specimen, and especially that shot shows the pattern well... Same gallery earlier in the day was another specimen shot a few hundred yards away. CU Museum lists the following as having been recorded in the state, but I'm not sure where to go to get anything else more quantitative: S. candidulus, S. fumipennis, S. oreas, S. vulgaris

Is this id close enough to move into the (now-empty) systoechus guide here?
