Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Not confident distinguishing between Eastern and Canadian.

Coordinator notes: Agree...without the ventral view it is extremely difficult to differentiate between the two species with full confidence. However, the width of the dark band along the inner edge of the HW along the body is pretty impressive. -jmgesell
