that, or Niesthrea

Niesthrea is a possibility...

Somewhat similar to Niesthrea sidae - FL, GA, TX

but Niesthrea louisianica doesn't seem to be a good fit:

Seems there is a 3rd sp. of Niesthrea similar to N. sidae

The TX record of Niesthrea sidae may represent a 3rd N. Amer. sp. of Niesthrea, but I still think the wing-bud veination and dorsal spot pattern are a better match for the nym tentatively ID'ed as Arhyssus...

i'm sure Val can provie some insight

Checked w/ Val first. She writes:

"rhopalidae: either Niesthrea louisianica or Arhyssus sp. - I'm leaning towards the latter..."

Arhyssus sp.
