Are you certain the top one is
vomitoria? Brown basicosta and epaulettes (should be black in
vomitoria), yellowy brown anterior spiracle (should be black in
vomitoria, the white border on the lower calypter is not a threadlike white line around the edge. Both specimens have ginger hair behind the occiput, which
vicina can have, but no red hair on the genae, which
vomitoria should have and I am wondering if both are
vicina, or the top one is some third species - what do you get in North America?
I take it you have the specimens?
