Interesting @WendyEM. What is the difference between Stagmatophora argyrostrepta and Mimodoxa metallica? Are most of NatureMapr's Stagmatophora argyrostrepta in fact Mimodoxa metallica?

Is the difference an extra small white mark on the costa between the first two white bands in M. metallica cf S. argyrostrepta?
They both seem to have white tips to the antennae (at least on iNaturalist.
