I've had these so long that I can't recall where I collected them and was surprised to find they had emerged. I had given up on them.

This may be a Lepidoscia species, but does not have a cone-shaped larval case, so I suggest we split the 'Lepidoscia' list label into Adults and Cone cases.

The adults are worn, but look like this species, and the cases well match one LBH photo.
