Drunella "lata" recently revised. 2 Replies »
Dave Funk et al. (2008) just reestablished the species of D. cornuta and D. cornutella in a very elegant paper looking at morphological, biological, and molecular evidence. The three species are easily identifiable in New Hampshire. Your photos above seems to be of Drunella cornuta.
