Yes, a Nannocyrtopogon sp.; great find Bob, as none are known from New Mexico!. Would have to see a specimen -- to determine if is the same as species known from Arizona or Utah. Great photo too!

Cophura sp., fur group.
Bob Barber has recently sent me two females of this species from La Luz Canyon. This allows me to see some small details that change the ID to Cophura sp., in the fur group. Male specimens are needed for further ID.
