Remarks
Acronicta nr. othello is a parking spot for Gary McDonald's BugGuide photo #533778 (BOLD Sample ID 2011GM-0627 in BIN group BOLD:AAD5473). The barcode tree for BOLD:AAD5473 is constructed with two branches, one with true othello and one with 533778 which bears a much greater resemblance to perdita. This may represent an introgressive hybridization with perdita.
