Horace's Duskywing
Erynnis horatius

Observation date: August 13, 2022
Submitted by: DeepSkyKelly
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Rocky-Mountain, Persius, or Afrianius.
Status: Resident
Verified by: stevecary
Verified date: August 15, 2022
Coordinator notes: for this dark-fringed duskywing, you list reasonable options. Rocky Mountain only flies in spring, though, so that's out. Afranius and Persius are small and can be sorted on that basis; was this one smaller than "normal?" assuming not, and noting the prominent dark spots in the HW submargin, I think Horace's.
Checklist region(s): United States, New Mexico, Colfax County
