This is a new species record for CNM if confirmed.
This species appears to be quite variable in appearance with more or less extensive darker makings in different forms of the species. This lighter form (less darker markings) seems more typical of the species given the examples I can see on the ALA. So I think the darker form of the species shown on Lepidoptera Butterfly House should be augmented with an example of the lighter, yellower form.
