Fooled me
I thought for sure it was another Allocapnia. Hopefully I have at least one male in the vial.

Paracapnia sp.
The last surge of capniids is in process right now - the two species of Paracapnia for our area, which will never be as abundant at Allocapnia. Unfortunately the males and females look pretty much like Allocapnia females, but are easy to tell apart under the microscope. The adult females of Paracapnia can't be separated.
