Coordinator notes: You're correct, this is a prime example of an intergrade between the subspecies arthemis and astyanax with the subtle white band traversing the FW. Unfortunately, there's no Limenitis arthemis x astyanax option on BAMONA, and these hybrids are lumped into this non-specific category. -jmgesell
