Comments:
Amydria
is a taxonomically challenging genus and in need of a major revision. There appear to be numerous undescribed species in North America, as well as several described species that have very similar external markings. Several forms that appear to be undescribed species occur in North Carolina (J.B. Sullivan, pers. comm.), as well as at least three described species. Identification is most reliable when using either genitalia and/or molecular barcoding. Except in instances where genitalia have been examined, our assignment of specimens to particular species is best viewed as being provisional.

Adult Markings:
This is an undescribed species. Don Davis, who passed away in 2024, was working on North American members of this genus and intended for the name
A. esker
to be applied to this form (J.B. Sullivan, pers. comm.). Our specimens are based on genitalia using an unpublished manuscript by Don Davis as a reference source.
