Revising. Wing venation isn't visible, so we lost our best trait. Ramirez-Guillen et al. (2022) note this western form by the black spots on T2 in addition to yellow on T3. They list is under the subspecies S. nobilitata nobilitata, given the infuscated wings (see key by McKay, 1987), though their description of the subspecies only applies to the population of the desert southwest into Baja California Sur and doesn't include the wider population. This also matches with a specimen below that includes a very clear scan of the forewing.
