Coordinator notes: Persius and Afranius are hard to differentiate; Afranius likes to patrol drainages while Persius likes hilltops, so I am using your canyon bottom location to call this Afranius. Also note that Persius males have a dense wash of silver/white scales on the forewing, which this individual lacks.
