| Status: Rare to abundant very local resident |
| Flight Period(s): One flight. In Nebraska it has been found to be common on 18 June on one occasion. |
| Range: This species inhabits roughly the northeastern quarter of the United States. In Nebraska it has been verified from Seward County. |
| Larval Hostplant(s): Hickorys, of which Bitternut and Shagbark (Carya cordiformis and C. ovata) are found in Nebraska. |

| Commentary/Habitat: There are various old records from the southeastern corner of the state that need verification, however the presence of the species in the state is confirmed by recent collections of the species in woodlands between Seward and Lincoln. This butterfly was found in abundance on smooth sumac flowers adjacent to a bitternut hickory grove. The species will no doubt prove to be more widespread as additional suitable habitats are investigated. |
