Does anyone know current systematic of this species?
Also if anyone knows good locality to collect it around eastern slope of Rocky Mountains south of Calgary.
As far as my research there should be A.stella inhabit some areas.

Hi Paul,

Maybe contact Mikeh.
He seems to travel all over that region.
Probably one of the most knowledgeable Western collectors regarding where certain butterflies can be found.

Evra might know as well but, he seems to collect the more southerly portions of the West in much drier habitats. He is certainly very knowledgeable in that regard.

Paul-

iNaturalist tries to stay on top of systematics, but sometimes there can be a delay.

It is indeed, thank you so much for the link

I will be travelling in mid June (peak season) to Alberta’s Rocky Mountains from Banff to Waterton Lakes NP.
Does anyone know reliable location for Anthocharis julia sulphuris ?

I'd try looking at where inaturalist records are in June.

Or try reaching out to Norbert Kondla who is a local collector. You can find his info on inaturalist, he post a lot of specimens.
