Coordinator notes: Marta, based on my recently revised criteria, which I shared with you via email, this is not Desert C-S, but the White/Common checkered-skipper complex. The FW apical freckle is not a dot, and the entire FW and HW marginal rows of white marks are freckles, not full-fledged dots. The HW median white patch does not show a dark vein. The FW fringe is largely gone, but if you look in the upper right corner you see enough of the FW fringe to see narrow black elements and wide white elements. This is Common/White all the way. My earlier ID was in error, possibly grievous error, but now corrected.
