Hal, there is some thought here at BG that that T. balteata and T. flavofasciata (which is thought to be much more brilliantly colored)cannot be separated reliably in photographs. I think I may have figured out a way using the ventral side of the wings, but I havet to wait for BOLD results to see if I have any real basis for my observations. By far the more common one here is T. balteata, as RLZ has suggested.

Thanks Ann and Robert. I saw another of them this morning. I'll try to get an underside photo of the next one I see.

Just got my BOLD results and have not had a chance to anylize them but my specimens came back Tripudia flavofasciata complex. As soon a I study the trees a bit I will post at least to Tripudia so all can see what I am talking about.

Just a thought ...
Have you considered Tripudia balteata
