Comment: One specimen, probably this species, but first costal and dorsal streaks joined and first two costal streaks not black-margined (needs further research). This specimen DNA BINs to BOLD:ACU7364. There is one other specimen, from Alabama, in this barcode, which has been identified as C. macrocarpella, but that species has a different barcode. This is most likely an undescribed species.
