No problem
And for the record, luctuosa is nearly identical (some question whether it's a separate species or not), but none-the-less, retecta is very common and the likely candidate, so I went ahead and moved it to species to confirm. Just keep a mental note that luctuosa is hiding in the shadows as a retecta doppleganger. :-)

 
Thanks again
Good to know--I'll definitely keep that in mind.
