Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: None.

Coordinator notes: "Bates" is not the common name of any of the sisters that I can find, though Bates is the scientist who first identified most of the Sister butterflies. Though this top view only is similar to three of the sisters, it is almost definitely a Adelpha iphicleola, Iphicleola Sister or Confusing Sister. Based on the size and arrangement of both white and orange cells.
