Coordinator notes: Marta, this is a great record. True, it is Viereck's, but it is demonstrably a female, which is pretty unusual. Almost all other pix I know of are males. the exaggerated dark/white marks on the underside may be typical of females, but we have seen so few that we cannot be sure. I uploaded the ventral shot to BofNM. The dot on the BAMONA map comes out as a ridgetop . . . is that accurate? can you describe the site with words. I know someone who is looking for oviposition sires and host plants. Nice work!!
