This specimen does not fully accord with Shelford's description 

 and figure, having but ten instead of thirteen costal veins to the 

 wangs and no blackish color on the palpi. In other features the 

 individual fully agrees with the description and it seems desirable 

 to tentatively refer it to chrysoptera.
