I think this could be some kind of Paropsisterna but sure.

Paropsisterna variicollis is now recognised as a synonym of P. cloelia, see Nahrung et al. 2020 (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aen.12476)

Kim, I thought for a while I could see some distinctions between the two, however, should we be combining these two categories on CNM? Most sightings are recorded under P. varicollis.
