Ken, I would say G. parthenice.  If G. virgo and G parthenice are like 
Apantesis nais and A. phalerata..... Notice where the a.m. or p.m. lines 
connect to the line at the top of the wing.  A. nais is a right angle; A 
phalerata is an obtuse angle.  G. parthenice is a right angle and G virgo is an 
obtuse angle.  
(Don't go by my word..... just a guess)

  Probably G. virgo or G. parthenice but there's no info on Bugguide to help 
differentiate the 2 and since it seems that all of these tigers are variable, 
I'm not sure which one I have.
