Do you know if it is the eastern or western forms
that you have in Manitoba?

 
I'm finally ready
to attempt an answer. The one in this submission looks like an eastern form from the wing pattern, as does my July 29, 2016 specimen. Many other Manitoba individuals look like the S.s. fascaiatum (plains, Rockies) form of the occidentale group. From what I've read, Manitoba would be in the transition zone between eastern and occidentale groups.
