To
the best of my knowledge this is perhaps only the third complete
specimen of this undescribed species of Nevadia yet found. A few
of the obvious differences from the typical Nevadia weeksi are the
long genal spines and much narrower thorax. The few found have been
much smaller than the typical adult N. weeksi.
