Common Ringlet (Coenonympha california, Coenonympha tullia)

Widespread and variable across northern and western North America with many named subspecies. Recent research indicates that most of the North American ringlets (including all pictured on this page) are a separate species from the old world "Common Ringlet, C. tullia" and should be identified as Coenonympha california, although I have not yet changed the names below to correspond to that.
