| DISTRIBUTION in North Carolina: Scattered across the state, but apparently scarce in the mountains and the northwestern Piedmont. |
| ABUNDANCE in North Carolina: Uncommon in the Coastal Plain and most of the Piedmont; very rare in the mountains and the northwestern Piedmont. Probably restricted to the lower elevations in the mountains. |
| FLIGHT PERIOD in North Carolina: Supposedly a single brood; unlike with the other three elfins, this brood is either a long one or butterflies emerge at widely varying times; mid-March to early June; the peak is late March to early April, but there is a clear, secondary peak in late May. |
