Not Sure
Do you happen to recall how I came up with the ID?

I do not recall. Maybe you posted a comment on my photo website. Those old comments there have been erased.

Hi Res?
Can you email high res images of this one and Photo#1678177 if possible? I think this one does represent rileyi and that 1678177 is badia. The two are supposedly distinguished but the pattern of the hind tibia. But you seem to have intermediate examples and I'm not sure rileyi actually ranges west of AZ. I'd like to run the images by an expert.

OK
My archives are messy. I will get them out in a couple of days.
