From Indiana, USA, July 30 2026 Very similar in some respects to Leskia but has 2 ADs on both mid tibia.

Indiana is John Carr-country. To a European, it definitely looks like a Leskiini. Theo |

I ruled out all the genera from eastern North America. Aprhia, Clausicellla, and Ginglymia are darker. Crocinosoma has big antennae. Drepanoglossa has longer proboscis. Genea has more bristles on veins R1 or R4+5. Superficially it looks like Leskia. The two regional species of Leskia differ. According to the key to genera, Leskia should have only one ad on mid tibia. The eastern species of Solieria has discals and all the species are at least a bit darker.

A perplexing one then. I will see if I can get ahold of either Jim O'Hara or John Stireman to seek their thoughts. |

Somewhat like Trochiloleskia, but that is supposed to only get as far north as Texas. Also, I've added another view of the head. Edited by bradbarnd on 17-08-2026 08:17 |
