Putting aside the discussion of Speyeria vs Argynnis, is the subspecies Speyeria hydaspe purpurascens (Edwards, 1877) valid? Or is it a synonym with a different ssp.? Couldn't seem to find much info online.
Thanks!

Tim-
In Pyle's 'The Butterflies of Cascadia", it looks like purpurascens is a synonym of S. h. hydapse if I read it correctly.
If you want an excerpt from the book, I could scan it for you or simply type out the text.
