Leanira Checkerspot - Moved
Many different sub-species with much variation.
Looked around on BOA and BOMONA and did not see
many specimens from the Cascade Range or area
around Sierra County to compare against.

Ssp. C. l. oregonensis is further north in Siskiyou County,
and north into Oregon, but I'm not sure if identical ssp.

Moved from Brush-footed Butterflies.
