West-Mexican Clearwing
Pteronymia rufocincta

Observation date: October 20, 2017
Submitted by: CloudbridgeButt...
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Unknown
Verified by: Charlie Doggett

Coordinator notes: This was marked as misidentified and suggested Pteronymia simplex, which I agree is probably correct for the 2nd & 3rd photos, but the first photo is different with more lines closer together making it (as identified) a Pteronymia rufocincta, in my opinion. Thus I'm leaving it in rufocincta where it was, plus simplex is not in BAMONA and the first photo is what shows up in the species pages. Thus not changed.
