| DISTRIBUTION in North Carolina: Throughout the Piedmont and extreme western Coastal Plain. There is a hiatus in the central Coastal Plain, and it appears again near tidewater areas. There is just a single mountain record, from Macon County in 2003. |
| ABUNDANCE in North Carolina: Uncommon to locally fairly common in the Piedmont; rare to absent in most of the Coastal Plain, but locally uncommon in tidewater areas near red cedars. |
| FLIGHT PERIOD in North Carolina: Apparently two broods, quite extended in time for a Callophrys species. In the Piedmont, late March to mid-June, and late June to early September. The Coastal Plain flight probably has a gap between broods in late May or early June, but more data are needed. In both provinces, the gap between broods is narrow. Apparently absent over most of the mountains. |
