If 4364506 is now regrouped as ''Psaroxantha undescribed species', I suggest this sighting is also a candidate for re-grouping too.

This speckly specimen looks very similar to one of Hobern's Psaroxantha calligenes at

I'm not sure what criteria were used to recognise P, undescribed species, but I think this looks different to the other speciimens identified as P. calligenes on CNM.

I did my best to differentiate them by "Psaroxantha calligenes and Psaroxantha undescribed species have slightly different structures to their forewing dark lines" in the CNM species description, but am still struggling for consistency. We could ignore the variation and put them all together.

Keep them distinct I reckon.
