Northern Cloudywing
Thorybes pylades

Observation date: April 22, 2023
Submitted by: Chrustay
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This looks like it could be T. p. albosuffusa - which I've never knowingly seen before. Elevation at 3,651 ft. which is apparently at the low end of its elevational gradient in the state.
Status: Resident
Verified by: stevecary
Verified date: May 03, 2023
Coordinator notes: Christopher, this could very well be albosuffusa, which is expected to occur in southern NM, but the experts are not publishing their results and so we wait . . .
