Oeneis chryxus
Taxonomic status and distribution of Yukon-Alaska Oeneis chryxus Oeneis chryxus is widely distributed in Yukon Territory, with records from even and odd-numbered years, where it inhabits dry, open barrens and subarctic steppe (Ferris et al. 1983; Lafontaine & Wood 1997). Various authors have con...

Taxonomic status and distribution of Yukon-Alaska Oeneis chryxus Oeneis chryxus is widely distributed in Yukon Territory, with records from even and odd-numbered years, where it inhabits dry, open barrens and subarctic steppe (Ferris et al. 1983; Lafontaine & Wood 1997).
