Coordinator notes: Unfortunately I’m not seeing any details making this individual an intergrade as suggested. I’m only seeing “astyanax” traits. Usually when we see an “arthemis”/“astyanax” intergrade/cross, the individual looks more like an “astyanax” with very faint white bars seen on the mid-FWs. -jmgesell
