Coordinator notes: This most certainly looks to be P. cocyta. In fact I am going to re-look at submissions I've approved from TN making sure I identified them as P. tharos correctly. This record is very far west in your state for the species so I will leave it's status as unknown and I was tempted to mark as identified asking for others to really look at this. I doubt it's a stray. Maybe range status of species compared to P. tharos needs to be looked at. If you find more of this species please take some images and submit. Thank you! JAMES STEEN
