This is apparently quite a stable species the ground color of the 

 upper side in both sexes being conspicuously red-brown. There is a 

 slight dusky shading along the inner margin beneath and one specimen 

 shows a single faint white dot. The green is usually unmarked by 

 any white. The fringes are outwardly pure white. 



This species is represented in the Barnes Collection from "Utah" ; 

 Silver Lake (Topotypes), and Eureka, Utah. 



Large females are likely to be confused with an occasional red 

 female of C. dmnetorum race perplexa but can be separated by the 

 fringes ; and in practically all cases by the lack of the gray-copper 

 suffusion, on the primaries below, extending nearly to the costa.
