Bleptina sp.
Don Lafontaine advises that this is one of two new (undescribed) species of Bleptina known from Florida. They are close to Bleptina hydrillalis which some Florida specimens have been referred to as being. The real B. hydrillalis is found in the Dominican Republic. Lafontaine and another researcher are working at describing the new species.
