Reversed Haploa
Haploa reversa

Observation date: May 26, 2010
Submitted by: HHowell
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Photographed just after midday.
Status: Resident
Verified by: jasondroberts

Coordinator notes: It is true that the white form Haploa are essentially not identifiable with any certainty by photo. However, in this region, this early in the year, this is "most likely" species reversa or lecontei, as those are the more typical May fliers. Given the uncertainty, I'm perfectly fine with moving this to genus level. -JDR
