More info
This specimen is one of three local variants distinguished by the DNA divergence measure.
All are distinguished from Costa Rican C. floridensis specimens in BOLD.
I have uploaded some more detailed information on all of this here: MJD pBase
Included are results showing a difference in the amino acid sequence for this variant.
Very unusual at the species or even the genus level from my look at a lot of my moth files.
