It is "Gillette's Checkerspot"

[Cris Guppy or Aud Fischer]

Upon checking in two bibliographies it is clear that Clarence P. Gillette (with an "e" at the end), is the correct spelling, not Gillett. Hence Gillette's Checkerspot is the correct spelling of the English name, not Gillett's Checkerspot. The spelling of the Latin name remains "gillettii" under the Code, because the custom in the late 1800's was to latinize a person's name prior to forming a species name from it. Hence Gillette became Gillettius, which was then used to form gillettii (ICZN article 31.1.1).
