Coordinator notes: Your ID is correct...this species has become know only in the last couple of years from Boulder and Jefferson County. Looks like a male. This is probably the best record in this numerous batch of submissions...not recorded often. In northern Colorado these tend to be somewhat intermediate between eastern hianna hianna and ssp. turneri (Oklahoma-northern Texas). Mike
