Coordinator notes: There's a bit of variation in this species which have some specimens more profoundly marked and others more diffuse and concolorous, but this specimen is in the right place and right time (albeit a tad early), and is a strong match with many DNA identified specimens at BOLD. I think the ID can be made, but I wouldn't argue against an asterisk in case another opinion differs. -JDR
