Remarks
. Although the three barcoded specimens from MSR fall into two BINs (BOLD:AFG5578 and BOLD: AAL9749), male genital dissections seemed to confirm that this species is phenotypically variable with some specimens displaying uniform forewing colouration (
Fig. 7
) while others have well-defined dark fasciae (
Fig. 8
).
