Moved from Cuerna striata.

Sorry, mixed this up while I was cleaning up the genus earlier. No streaks in the apical cells, so alpina.

Don't know if species can be determined

Thanks!
Thanks for the genus ID. What sort of view would be needed for species ID, or is it just not possible for this genus without genetic analysis?
