Coordinator notes: You found the rarest fritillary in the Sierra Nevada, the unnamed subspecies of coronis known from only a few specimens and you were kind enough to give an actual locality. If you can send your actual first and last name and I can publish your record in the annual Season Summary. Otherwise I have to give Bamona the credit. You can contact me at kdavenport93306@yahoo.com. I am also the Season Summary Coordinator for California
