I caught two of the little pale clusiids. One has two orbitals and if I've interpreted orbitals correctly, the other has three - see below. The Stubbs key is not definite about the number of orbitals. He said “Normally three pairs of orbital bristles - albimana.” “Normally two pairs of orbitals” leads to gentilis.
So....
