    Oxydia subcana is also quite similar:

      But, an individual like this one of Oxydia herbertina looks quite similar to yours:

          This O. subcana seems to be something of a ghost species. No references on iNat or GBIF. BOLD references one specemin from Bolivia. Posted 3 years ago

            Yep -- the Leps app is the only place I could find a photo. Perhaps it's rare or newly described? Or, maybe the species name is deprecated or synonymous with another species? Posted 3 years ago

              Ok I retitled it O. herbertina. iNat shows one in Colombia and GBIF one in Ecuador.But if you think unwarrented I will remove again. Posted 3 years ago, modified 3 years ago
