Heliades lindae Cashatt, 2013?

I'm not sure H. mulleolella is west of Texas. Heliades huachucalis (Haimbach, 1915), type locality: AZ, was raised from synonymy of mulleolella in Solis, Cashatt & Scholtens (2013). The white lines of Heliades lindae Cashatt, 2013 is not marginated with fuscous like huachucalis.

Couldn't find any records

of Streptopalpia minusculalis in either the California species list or database (Hodges # 5565), but it does appear on John Heppner's Florida list and a list from Costa Rica.

There's only 1 species of Streptopalpia, so I think this is likely another genus.

Streptopalpia minusculalis

Although I appreciate the further research, I still keep wanting to lean toward an ID of Streptopalpia minusculalis. It's a great match in appearance, possessing several diagnostic characteristics, and I've yet to find another genus/species that matches just right (Arta was probably the closest, but it didn't seem quite right). Given that this species has been found in Florida, Mexico and southern Arizona, I think it's quite possible, and even likely, that it would (and has) strayed into southern California. I'll check with a couple of my contacts over in CA to see if they know of any records of this species that have yet to be documented on the lists. Again Robin, I do appreciate your research. You're one of the few people that go the extra mile. :) Please don't think I'm dismissing your input or anything.

Probably Streptopalpia minusculalis, # 5565.

Thanks!

It does look like it. Is it probable enough for a new guide page, or should we wait for confirmation?

… Chuck Entz, 9 August, 2007 - 6:57am

I'd say yes

My thoughts are, yes, it is probable enough for a new guide page. The shape, size, coloration, AM & PM lines all appear to be spot on for the species. That along with the legs in particular lead me to say yes ... with only very slight reservation simply because there's so little info on this species.
