Apheloria virginiensis montan
Apheloria virginiensis montana exhibits this color pattern, but the pronounced wrinkling (coriaceousness) that is clearly visible on the terga is evidence that this is Cherokia georgiana instead. It also exhibits this yellow spotted color pattern. Rowland Shelley

Thanks, Dr. Shelley...
...for both the ID and the reasoning behind it. Please let me know if I've managed to move this to the wrong subspecies (I put it here because the Guide's other Georgia specimen was placed here).
