Many of the following specimens are considered “forms” of arcuella, aurora and lyrcaeus, but probably hybrids between them: maybe some forms of aurora should be more properly placed under arcuella forms or viceversa. Further complications arise from some old subspecies (isabellinus, staudingeri, elegans) recently regarded as mere forms / hybrids of aurora, arcuella and tarapotensis.
