Moved from
Astatinae
.
Jim: From the holoptic eyes here, this is a male of either
Astata
or
Dryudella
. The posterior edge of the 2nd submarginal cell is a bit longer than that of the 1st (I measured it carefully from your image here). That indicates this is
Astata
. (
Dryudella
has 2nd submarginal
shorter
than 1st...see
info page
and/or the key and discussions in Bohart & Menke
(
1
)
).
Nice specimen and photo (as usual :-)
