Coordinator notes: I did a screen shot of this individual and lightened the image. The ventral ground color, end of the antennae, slight gold wash on the head, position of the HW spotting, particularly the central round spot, and more significantly the shape, number and sizes of the three FW apical spots, all support Moeris hyagnis.
