Chlosyne acastus (W. H. Edwards, 1874) (1870) The name acastus has long been associated with this suite of taxa. The discovery that populations given the name sterope (W. H. Edwards, 1870), formerly considered a subspecies of Chlosyne palla (Boisduval, 1852), are actually conspecific with C. acastus, threatens the seniority of the latter name; see A. Warren (2005), Butts. Ore.: 225-232. Replacing acastus with sterope as the species-level name (e.g., Scott (2006), Papilio (n.s.) 12: 37-38), would create an unnecessary and cumbersome reassignment of names. A paper is being prepared to cite the evidence for implementation of Code Article 81.2.3, to grant acastus status as a nomen protectum. Trans. Am. Entomol. Soc. 5(1): 16-17. Original Combination: Melitaea Acastus Type Locality: “Montana...Nevada...Southern Utah”; defined as “Provo Canyon, Utah County, Utah” by F. Brown (1966), Trans. Am. Entomol. Soc. 92(3): 402-403. Types: Lectotype in CMNH, designated by F. Brown (1966), Trans. Am. Entomol. Soc. 92(3): 404, fig. 16 ♂ D&V; figured by W. Holland (1898), Butt. Book: pl. 16, fig. 11 ♂ D.

Type Locality: “Catalina Mountains of Arizona”; Sabino Canyon implied from the formation of the name. [Pima County] Types: Holotype (#4302) in CAS. J. A. Comstock (1920), Southwest Sci. Bull.
