 Comments
       
  Comment: Concerning North American records that are referrable to other species, Pelham (2008:290) notes of Adelpha bredowii Geyer, 1837, "A. Warren (2005), Butts. Ore.: 272, commented on the separation of A. eulalia and A. californica from A. bredowii Geyer, 1837 [...] Adelpha bredowii does not occur in the United States." See also Prudic et al. (2008). Under this treatment, A. bredowii should not be known as the "California Sister" (Prudic et al. suggest instead "Mexican Sister")
