Epitheca cynosura (Common Baskettail)

[Click on any thumbnail for expanded image/slideshow.]

This species comes in a dizzying array of wing patterns,i.e., amount of dark color, and I've tried to illustrate this with a variety of photos for comparison. Body shape and appendae length are confusing as well when compared with another porblematic species in our area, Slender Baskettail. If I've incorrectly identified anything, let me know. It's a befuddling complex.
