moth genitalia
moth collected by Tom Murray [IMG_7560]
moth was identified as 2711 P. liriodendrana and matches images of supposedly this species in MPG and BG.
However, the genitalia of Tom's moth is definitely not 2711 but is a good match to 2716 in Gilligan et al. Makes me question the true ID of 2711 in BG and MPG.
