Moved
Moved from Nola ovilla.

It is my understanding that only males in N. ovilla and clethrae can be reliably separated. The former has antennae fasciculate whereas the later have antennae that are pectinate. Also, ovilla is apparently known from only a very few examples. MPG will be moving all images of live Nola, previously identified as ovilla, to clethrae until new information becomes available.

 
Thank you
