I think the time line indicates that longevity gives precedence to wroblewskyi Morch, 1875. The borealis name appears in 1881 by Keep. the name chacei seems to apply only to a sub-specific form which varies only little from the general form. It appears from Alaska all the way down the Pacific coast, a great enough distance to allow for some variation. Heck---you can call it Henry if you want. I'm sure that Mrs. DuShane would rule, sceptor high, definitively, one way or another. pity.
