Or Desmia funeralis. They are very tricky or impossible to separate from each other. Take a careful (!) look and read the notes at the links for further criteria or informations: http://bugguide.net/node/view/477890 http://bugguide.net/node/view/3967 As a compromise I suggest you take Desmia funerals/maculalis as scientific ID.
