Coordinator notes: I'm certain this is Acontia, and I'm pretty sure it's A. chea, although I'd be more comfortable if there was a side view. There's residency data from southern AZ and west TX, so while there's none in NM it's likely resident (this example seems fresh from the photo). I hope another coordinator will correct me if I'm wrong.
