No luck with these. Males and nothing but males. I'm going to have to redo this Mexican species another time to get some females on picture. They were also surprisingly late in the season. A more normal flight time for this univolutine species would have been June/early July. My males only started to emerge late August. This is a species with a very restricted distribution. So far, they have been reported from the Mexican states Oaxaca and Guerrero.The wingspan is between six and eight and half centimeter. Females are larger then males.
