Coordinator notes: This is the best match I can make within BAMONA. In my online and book research I find at least 8 or 9 other possibilities, assuming that is 3 spots on the forward wing. In some ways the closer match was Barbo fotuellas which has never been reported in Costa Rica. But I think that this Cymaenes tripunctus is about as good a match as I can make now.
