Thanks Tom and Hugh for the info. I am actually going to lean a little more towards magnicupida. It seems, looking at pics on MPG and BOLD, that a majority of the specimens of cupida have dark to black reniform spots, while magnicupida seems to have reniform spots that are more on the red side. My individual doesn't have black spots.

HI All, I agree it looks like cupida, but I'm wondering how you can be sure it is not magnicupida without taking a specimen.
