Gillett's Checkerspot - again

[Kondla, Norbert FOR:EX]

I recall we compared notes on the "correct" spelling and etymology of this
butterfly over the winter.  A number of options were presented and the pros
and cons debated.  I see yet another option for the orgin of this name has
come forward in the the new book butterflies of british columbia.  It
advances the interpretation that Barnes named the bug after his wife -
Charlotte Gillett. Interesting.
