| Satyrium liparops aliparops (Michener & dos Passps, 1942) |
| Status: Uncommon local resident |
| Flight Period(s): One flight peaking in late June. Nebraska records are from 13 June – 25 July. |
| Range: The Striped Hairstreak inhabits the southern half of Canada from Alberta eastward, the eastern United States west to the eastern portions of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, and into the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Wyoming and Montana. In Nebraska it is widely distributed across the state. |
| Larval Hostplant(s): Cherries and Plums (Prunus species) |
| Overwinter: As an egg |
| Commentary/Habitat: Found at woodland margins or on hillsides or open areas in association with the hostplant. Checking milkweed or sumac flowers near chokecherry stands is often productive. Rarely represented by more than an individual or two, it is most often encountered by accident in general collecting. They perch on their hostplants, but have also been collected from cedar trees when searching for Juniper Hairstreaks and oaks when searching for Banded Hairstreaks. Investigating areas with known populations may yield no sightings for several years running. They have been found at the Niobrara Valley Preserve ( Keya Paha County), Wildcat Hills State Recreation Area ( Scotts Bluff County), Limestone Bluffs State Wildlife Management Area ( Franklin County), Happy Jack Peak/Scotia Chalk Mine ( Greeley County) and the Interstate 80 East rest area west of Sidney ( Cheyenne County). |
