This is Vanessa virginiensis, the American Lady. Epargyreus clarus would be this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epargyreus_...

This is an American Lady - Vanessa virginiensis. The key identifying features are the pair of large eyespots on the underside of the hindwing and the small white spot on the submarginal orange cell of the forewing.
