Ozena Bombyliids - Exoprosopa doris - female

Ozena Bombyliids - Exoprosopa doris - Female
About 6 miles east of Ozena Station on Lockwood Valley Road, Ventura County, California, USA
August 1, 2013
Note the distinctive wing venation of Exoprosopa, with the cross-vein connecting the first bend in R4 with R2+3 proximal to its apical bend. The dark fasciations on the wings match those of E. doris, as shown in Fig. 3 here.

The color pattern of the abdominal pile shown for the male in Fig. 10 here matches the male at bottom of the 1st image in this series. As noted in the 2nd paragraph on pg. 71 of Elmer & Johnson, females have a similar abdominal pile pattern, except for the 6th tergite is covered in tan-colored pile (rather than the white pile in males), as seen in the photo above.

For more info, see remarks under 1st photo in this series.
