Speyeria nokomis (W. H. Edwards, 1862) Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philad. 14(5): 221-222, no. 1. Original Combination: Argynnis Nokomis Type Locality: “Rocky Mountains and mountains of California”; suggested to be “probably east of Ft. Apache, along the East Fork of the White River, Apache Co., Arizona” by Ferris and M. Fisher (1971), J. Lepid. Soc. 25(1): 47. The neotype is from “Sneffels Mts Ouray Co. Col.” and Grey (1989), J. Lepid. Soc. 43(1): 2-3, corroborates that this species occurs near there. [Mount Sneffels, Colorado] Types: Neotype (#36195) in AMNH, designated by dos Passos and Grey (1947), Am. Mus. Novit. (1370): 9-10; figured by F. Brown (1965), Trans. Am. Entomol. Soc. 91(3): 248, fig. 4 ♂ D&V. S. nokomis occured along the Uncompahgre River, near Ridgway, Ouray County, at least through the 1980's (A. Warren, pers. comm. 2006). = nigrocaerulea (W. Cockerell & T. Cockerell, 1900) Entomol.

Original Combination: Argynnis nitocris var. nigrocaerulea Type Locality: “Sapello Canon, Beulah, New Mexico” [San Miguel County] Types: Holotype in USNM. = valesinoidesalba (Reuss, [1926]) (emended) Dtsche. Entomol. Z. 1926(1): 69. Original Combination: [Acidalia Semnopsyche] nokomis valesinoides-alba Type Locality: Not stated. Types: Holotype in ZMHB. It is impossible at this time to accurately place this taxon in the synonymy of S. nokomis. = ‡”rufescens” (T. Cockerell, 1909) Entomol. Rec. & J. Var. 21(7/8): 186. Original Combination: Argynnis nitocris var. nigracaerulea [sic!] ab. rufescens Type Locality: “At Beulah, in the Sapello Cañon” [San Miguel County, New Mexico] Types: “Holotype” in USNM.

Original Combination: Argynnis Nitocris Type Locality: “White Mountains, Arizona” Types: Holotype in CMNH, designated as lectotype by dos Passos and Grey (1947), Am. Mus. Novit.
