Posts: 1681		Unless the setae are long (about 0.60-0.75 X the width of femur), Jason, that would seem to bring us (me) back to A. feropagus/lapponica or perhaps B. foemina. (See above.)

Posts: 505		foemina should have larger hind wing pads than the acentrella twins. feropagus has shorter setae on the hind margin of the femur than lapponica

Yes, back to nowhere. :)

Posts: 2604		Ha! Will do. BTW - those wingpads sure look light for a nymph as close to eclosion as the specimens eye development suggests.
