Valenzuela manteri (Sommerman) 1943 - Valenzuela manteri - Female
Palmetto State Park, Gonzales County, Texas, USA
December 19, 2013
Size: ~ 3.5 mm
This is the micropterous form of the species. Collected on dead leaves of palmetto. I was fortunate to be collecting with Dr. Edward Mockford on this occasion! In this species males are extremely rare.
