Limenitis arthemis, the red-spotted purple or white admiral, is a North American butterfly species in the cosmopolitan genus Limenitis.It has been studied for its evolution of mimicry, and for the several stable hybrid wing patterns within this nominal species; it is one of the most dramatic examples of hybridization between non-mimetic and mimetic populations.
Limenitis weidemeyerii is found in western Canada, the northern Great Plains (an outlying population), and the Western United States, from the Rocky Mountains westward to the Sierra Nevada and California. It is named after John William Weidemeyer, a 19th-century entomologist whose specimen from the Rocky Mountains was used to describe the species.
Limenitis is a genus of brush-footed butterflies, commonly called the admirals. The sister butterflies ( Adelpha ) and commander butterflies ( Moduza ) are sometimes included here. The name Limenitis is Neo-Latin "of harbours", from Ancient Greek Λιμενιτις (from λιμήν, a harbour, haven).
