Moved
Moved from Sanctanus cruciatus.

The wing pattern on this individual (and the others I've moved to genus level) is not quite right for cruciatus (compare with the other cruciatus pictures) and is closer to P. fasciatus. But the head and thorax are more like cruciatus. Wondering if this is something new, P. dampfi (not recorded from the U.S.), or indeed just a weird color form of cruciatus.
