Coordinator notes: Note from MPG:"Several species including Aethes balaoghi (3755), A. patricia (3759) and A. seriatana (3760.1) are extremely difficult or impossible to separate by surface markings. They should perhaps be considered to represent a photographic species group."

Based on range, I think that the suggested id of Aethes seriatana is correct. The other two species that look very similar are not shown by MPG to extend into peninsular FL. SAT
