L. roseata is a Pacific Northwest endemic that is almost identical to this species.

 
Undescribed Species?
This does not seem to match the type, which I just added to MPG, nor does it match the descriptions. It looks nearly identical to roseata from the Northwest.

There are images that were not barcoded at BOLD which match the type. There is also one at BugGuide by Evan Rand which I also posted at MPG. They are very different from the above. There are also samples from AZ which do look like the above image which were barcoded. The difference in the barcodes between the AZ population and those in roseata from the Northwest is ~1.7% which isn't a lot. I'm wondering if this might be roseata or an undescribed species near roseata.
