Observation date: July 25, 2012
Submitted by: whbauer
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The prominent curvy "line" of small lighter dots across the wings and the lack of a reddish-brown tint were factors that led me to id this as Matigramma obscurior instead of Matigramma rubrosuffusa. Both species have been documented near the sighting locale.
