But it lacks the diagnostic 'thumb tab' at the basal dorsum of the 2nd abdominal segment. For that reason it is not a Metallic RT.

Chris, John - I would have gone along with A. Psyche for this one. For me the shape and narrowness of the antehumeral stripe fits perfectly for Cup Ringtail, but I see no trace of a small tab at the posterior ventral end of that stripe to suggest Wandering Ringtail. Abdominal colour pattern also fits well for Cup Ringtail. What did you base your call for A. leda on, Chris?
