Coordinator notes: The specimen is a male. This may be a new larval hostplant record for P. m-album. Please forward your data and photo to me at RichardSmith9070@verizon.net so I can forward to Lycaenid specialist at Smithsonian NMNH. You will certainly receive credit if this is in fact new hostplant info.
