Coordinator notes: Marcellina is correct ID. (Phoebis marcellina) needs to be added as separate species to BAMONA. No longer a sub-species of "sennae" That was a preliminary view after some initial sequencing but at present both eubule and marcellina are considered conspecific in Pelham's Catalogue. I may have told you the 2 were separate species in the past but my source recanted, at least for now. Sorry.-Ken Davenport
