yes, 8739 - Caenurgina erechtea - Forage Looper

 
this is C. crassiuscula
The AM and PM bands touching or not touching does not matter in determining the ID of crassiuscula vs erechtea. I've been through all the boxes of Caenurgina at Cornell and elsewhere, the only determing factor is the AM band either touching the inner margin (C. crassiuscula) or noticeably NOT touching the inner margin (C. erechtea)
