Not Stenacron, probably Leucrocuta

Posted by GONZO on Oct 19, 2006

Size alone would make Stenacron unlikely, but notice the unmarked legs and that the darkest grouping of crossveins is in-between R1 and SC (Stenacron would have them between R1 and R2). Compare this specimen to the one on the Leucrocuta page--they are probably the same species.
