This doesn’t look like the ignota that I’m used to. All of the ignota I have seen before have a metallic green pattern whereas in this specimen the pattern just looks black. Also every specimen in my collection has red apices with a pre apical mark whereas this specimen the mark covers the entire apices.
It might be that specimens from this area are differently marked as my specimens are from a but further north.
