There is also another butterfly know as "white admiral" : limenitis arthemis (also sometimes basilarchia arthemis). The specie is present in North-America. It is also the official insect emblem of Québec, the sub-specie limenitis arthemis arthemis that is. This white admiral was discovered by Drury. Someone with a little more time should include this in the article. Although the two are in the same family they differ in appearance. Pro bug catcher 01:59, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

~~With some other (very minor) research on the Internet I think the real name is basilarchia arthemis. Pro bug catcher 23:09, 5 June 2006 (UTC)~~ Upon verification in Louis Handfield's (in French)"Le guide des papillons du Québec" (editor: Broquet inc., ISBN 2-289000-486 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum-4) I found that it is in fact limenitis arthemis. Pro bug catcher 23:19, 5 June 2006 (UTC) Red-spotted Purple is the other sub-species, either limenitis arthemis astyanax or limenitis arthemis arizonensis.

This means there are three possible solutions :

Put both the subspecies in the limenitis arthemis (and thus moving the Red-spotted Purple to limenitis arthemis).
Add limenitis arthemis arthemis to this page.
Make a limenitis arthemis arthemis and leave the other two

You can now add the other names and subspecies to the Red-spotted Purple article. Shyamal 03:17, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
