I'm thinking it's Griseargiolestes eboracus as I think there's two cells in discoidal field between discoidal cell and level of subnodus, making it Griseargiolestes sp. rather than Austroargiolestes sp.. The pterostigma looks like it's the right size and shape and is pale and G. eboarcus has been previously found at Rendezvous Creek. I'd appreciate a second opinion, though. @HarveyPerkins - Thoughts?

Thoracic markings are all wrong for Griseargiolestes eboracus. I'd count that as three cells between the discoidal cell and subnodus. I'm thinking Common Flatwing.

@HarveyPerkins I really dislike trying to ID flatwings. Ha! Thank you for assessing all of these.
