THis was a Rhagionid that was attracted to light in the mountains. But I was too slow to catch it. Is this also scolopaceus?

Another shot. I do not have a lateral view.

AGain it seems to be a male with separated eyes.
Which would imply latipennis.

Yes, I think you are right. This 'eyes separated in males' character is very easy, and is not mentioned in my literature. The pattern of the wing seems to be variable then, as this one has slightly different pattern than the species posted in the other thread.
This species seems to prefer mountains streams with ancient forest around them.

these pennis are, however, less lati, so I have some doubts.
