Synonyms: Hodges #4285.
Striped Hairstreak (Satyrium liparops), a dark grayish-brown hairstreak with bold white striping on the underwing, occurs widely across Maryland. Despite its wide range, the species is seldom met with in large numbers (Brock & Kaufman, 2003). It has a univoltine flight period, from late June to early July (Butterflies of Maryland: A Biological Summary and Checklist by Lynn Davidson & Richard Smith).
The extensive white striping around the darker bands, and a reddish-orange cap on the blue hindwing spot, serve to distinguish this species. Additionally, on the hindwing, the cell-end bar aligns with the upper postmedian band (Brock & Kaufman, 2003).
Deciduous forest and edges. Often found at nectar sources.
Uses various plants in Ericaceae and Rosaceae as larval host plants, including Black Cherry (Prunus serotina), and hawthorn (Crataegus sp.) but also blueberries (Vaccinium sp.), oaks (Quercus sp.) and others.
There are 54 records in the project database.
