Nothing to correct.
It would be nice if all the authors agreed though. Treatments vary from everything in the anicia/chalcedona group being lumped as one species, to being split as several.

Moved from Checkerspots.

Checkerspot
This is a Euphydryas checkerspot. As BugGuide currently defines it, I believe it's a Chalcedon Checkerspot (E. chalcedona) of the subspecies wallacensis. Some authorities split this taxon and some other subspecies and call them the Snowberry Checkerspot (E. colon). Hopefully, David Ferguson will see this and correct me if I'm wrong!
