It is either an abberation of A. amphimuta or major.

The postdiscal spot in space 1b (to the inside of the blue metalmark) is almost a perfect V.
This is typical of A. amphimuta. Female.

In Federick's, the same spot is broken into two, but one is much larger , like a 'L'.
This is typical of A. major. Male.

If you have the upperside, the female amphimuta have extensive blue on the HW ie. narrow brown border.
