Hi Kasiaaus, do you know how to tell Persectania dyscrita from P. ewingii ?

I have absolutely no idea Don. I just thought it looked like the last one I photographed which was in the end decided to be Persectania ewingii, although I must admit it was a bit smaller, not as fresh and held its wings less flat. Not that any of this means anything.
Thank you for all your IDs.

Judging from ALA examples looks more like P. dyscrita to me.
