Stuart,

Let's talk about all of these dark ones.

 
Ann
I just started sending a bunch of Tornos to J. Russo for dissection. From the first batch I sent her (about 8), all were scolopacinaria, except one that was abjectarius. Hopefully when I compare photos I might have a better idea of what they are if I can rule out abjectarius.

Stuart,

I have been intouch with JoAnne. She is in Montana with limited internet access. I have spent an INORDINATE amount of time dissecting all of the specimens that I had spread from both Schulenburg and the ranch. I found out that I have BOTH species in Schulenburg even though I happened to send all T. scolopacinaria. At the time we exchanged emails she had NOT dissected a T. scolopacinaria, so we should have interesting comparisons.
