Moved

Moved from Euphoria. This species is recorded from AZ. Color pattern highly variable but this lies within range.

Could it be E. quadricollis?

I've seen E. arizonica (synonym) that look just like it

Nice

Yes, I have the record for the sp from AZ and I have photos of white-patterned ones and all black ones from Pat Sullivan's collection. This is a nice in-between to those. It's the first life AZ one I've seen.
