Notes
Found near a P. ruber, which Bethany recorded. This is the new species known as "E. sphagnicola." We did not get a clear picture of the belly, but it clearly showed silvery on the upper part but yellow on the underside of the tail, and this coupled with the habitat (sphagnum bog seep) confirms our sphagnicola.
