Coordinator notes: There seems to be a consensus on MPG and bugguide.net that D. maculalis cannot be positively separated from D. funeralis by a dorsal view alone. In such cases it may be best to put photos in a designated Desmia funeralis/maculalis group. BAMONA needs to set something like this up for such species groups, and there has been some discussion of that in the past.SAT
