Submitted by: Tom Dudones
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jmgesell
Verified date: June 27, 2025
Coordinator notes: Nearly impossible to definitively ID a female from field marks, however, the dorsal side reticulations without open orange patches, as well as the dark coloration to the ventral surface of the antennal clubs would favor P. tharos over P. cocyta. -Jeff Gesell
