Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Alan Manson
Comment:   My initial ID was T. pluvialis based on the amber patch on the hindwingand the weak line separating yellow spots on S4-6, but John suggests pt is more like furva. What I can see of the thorax pattern through the wing also suggests furva.
