Two ID's!
I have just noticed that I overlooked this specimen as being originally posted as Species Eudonia spaldingalis - Hodges#4729 - here: (1). It represented a new species for the Guide at the time. An additional Image has been placed under Eudonia spaldingalis since the original posting of my specimen. Now, based on the DNA results from BOLD I would say that Eudonia spenceri is the correct species for this specimen of mine. I have frassed the original images.
