Submitted by: Tom Dudones
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jmgesell

Coordinator notes: Nearly impossible to get a definitive ID without a ventral view, however, open orange HW patches on the male in the photo would favor P. cocyta. Often times, females can only be ID'd when seen with a male of the species. -Jeff Gesell
