Coordinator notes: Your suggested ID is correct...a female. The BAMONA species list does not include dryope as a species...genetics does suggest dryope and sylvinus are separate species-level taxa though for reasons related to confusion the list will probably not be updated anytime in the near future. Based on the genetics sylvinus or what I have called the Western Willow Hairstreak (and would probably also apply to dryope) is primarily confined to the West Coast states. Thanks for you submission. Mike
