Eremnophila aureonotata
Blue-black in color with bold silver spots on thorax (and face of male).
Nectaring on White Sweet Clover flowers while mating. Location was beside a dry riverbed (arroyo) in an otherwise vast open area.
This is probably as far west as this species ranges, and it may not be very common here.
