Coordinator notes: I chose Iridopsis perfectaria as the sighting id because of the diffuse markings on the wings on a pale background, which seems characteristic of the species. Other Irisopsis species in the sighting locale appear to have more distinct line patterns overall. There are a few photos of the species on the barcode of life web site http://www.lepbarcoding.org/geometridae/species.php?region=1&id=49102&spec_id=LOCB122-06%201148397308&meta=&image=www.boldsystems.org/pics/LOCB/LOCB122-06+1148397308.jpg
