About Aricia morronensis (Ribbe, 1910)
This description of Aricia morronensis is taken from Seitz. The species is similar to L. idas Rbr. (79 k). The upper side of the wings is black-brown, with a dark median spot on the forewing. The fringes are pale, and are only slightly darkened at the tips of the veins. The underside is coffee-brown with a faint reddish tinge. The ocelli have the same arrangement as those of astrarche. The hindwing bears a pale longitudinal streak that runs from the center of the wing to the middle of the outer margin. This streak is typically much more prominent than it appears in the figure accompanying the original description. Aricia morronensis occurs in the Sierra Nevada, where it can be found at 1000 ft during July.
