Pretty sure Ann is correct. The am. line and reniform spot would be more weakly defined in protumnusalis. Because the species was only recently described, many images of Z. dentata are misidentified as protumnusalis. For instance, the protumnusalis photos at MPG by Steve Walter and Bo Zaremba are both incorrect. See Info page for Z. dentata in BugGuide. It does, however look like the images at BOLD have been updated so you may want to refer to that.

It looks like 8349.1 – Zanclognatha dentata to me but I am not from your area.

Thanks. I doubt it can be ID
Thanks. I doubt it can be ID'd past Z. sp since dentata and protumnusalis are so similar, but I was not even looking at dentata so I appreciate your input.
