Comments: Femora IV are blackened on the underside at the distal end on incognita. Dorsal The fine lines that begin between the PLEs angle out too sharply for antelucana. The single pair of petals in the radial pattern have a distinctive chunk taken out of them. The cardiac mark on adult male antelucana stands out more.
