Nice photos but I think this recent batch are going to be very hard - they all look a bit anonymous to me - possibly blondeliine ... but perhaps Theo could add more :)

Nope,
It is an alien from the New World .....
In the Old World it would be a Blondeliini indeed

Given specimens of all these we could (fairly) easily get to genus and possibly species ... but there are no nice comprehensive species-level keys to the group, so it means going through the Nearctic Manual (no problem) and then paper-chasing species keys (often a big problem) :)
