I'm Sorry
I'm sorry about giving you wrong information, Tom, but the Anicia Checkerspot isn't even in my Guide Books. I'm going to have to rectify this somehow.

No worries. If you actually
No worries. If you actually look at all of my Anicia Checkerspots from my trip, I saw 3 subspecies that all looked very different. Check out the Pelham catalogue http://www.bioquip.com/html/view_prodpics.asp?CatalogNum=9385&P=1

Edith's Checkerspot
Looks a whole lot like an Edith's Checkerspot - Euphydryas editha to me. The markings seem more indicative of this than the other possibility, a Variable Checkerspot, especially in the white patches just beyond the postbasal area of the forewing. Most especially the one on the leading edge. That's my impression.
