I agree
I agree entirely with John and Jane; this is clearly agrioides, and I must have been having a bad day when I put a name on it; my approach has always been to question authority, and I'm glad that others do so

We may be nuts to disagree with a Dennis Paulson ID
but life is short - go for it - is our motto! Check out Jim Johnson's website, link on the info page. Everything about this says agrioides to us. Plus the shape of the black mark on segment 2 is indicative of agrioides according to Paulson's book. Check it out. See what you think. We think this is better placed under agrioides.
