Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I'm torn between Purple/Dorcus. Seems to have a very limited submarginal orange wavy line (2 waves) but some of that could be missing HW. Spotting seems more more pronounced than Purplish (maybe). Do we have Dorcus here? Looking at more angles, I'm starting to think Purplish.

Coordinator notes: you summed up the ID challenges very well. we have always called our populations Purplish, but we could be wrong; they could be Dorcas; or we could have both. at some point we'll need to review these, but for now we're going with Purplish.
