CD-ROM Version 1 (May 2005). Portland, OR: The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. ________________________________________________________________________ Euphilotes baueri (Shields), 1975 Bauer’s Dotted-Blue (Lycaenidae: Polyommatinae: Scolitantidini) ________________________________________________________________________ Profile Prepared by Mace Vaughan and Matthew Shepherd The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation ________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Bauer’s Dotted-blue has a very limited distribution: eastern California, central Nevada, and northwest Arizona. It may also occur in southwest Utah. Its habitat is dry slopes and desert flats with scattered short brush where the larval hostplants, various wild buckwheats, grow. The major threat is loss of habitat due to invasive alien plants, mainly cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum), which may out-compete buckwheat hostplants as well as increase fire risk.

The wingspan is between 19 mm and 22 mm (¾ to ? inch) Males are pale blue above.

The projects, both conducted by the Colorado Natural Heritage Program, are two distinct projects that are highly integrated with respect to methodology and fieldwork. Both projects utilized the same Natural Heritage methodology that is used throughout the globe, and both searched for and assessed the plants, animals, and plant communities on the Colorado Natural Heritage Program’s list of rare and imperiled elements of biodiversity. Each report prioritizes potential conservation areas based on the relative significance of the biodiversity they support and the urgency for protection of the site. All information explaining Natural Heritage methodology and ranks is repeated in each report, so that each report can stand alone and be used independently of the other. This report, Survey of Critical Biological Resources of Pueblo County, presents all potential conservation areas identified in Pueblo County that support rare and imperiled plants, animals, and significant plant communities, including wetland and riparian areas.

Catalog: Oregon State Arthropod Collection 3(2). (beta version). http://dx.doi.org/10.5399/osu/cat_osac.3.2.4594 Introduction These records were generated using funds from the LepNet project (Seltmann) - a national effort to create digital records for North American Lepidoptera. The dataset published herein contains the label data for all North American specimens of Lycaenidae and Riodinidae residing at the Oregon State Arthropod Collection as of March 2019. A beta version of these data records will be made available on the OSAC server (http://osac.oregonstate.edu/IPT) at the time of this publication. The beta version will be replaced in the near future with an official release (version 1.0), which will be archived as a supplemental file to this paper. Methods Basic digitization protocols and metadata standards can be found in (Shepard et al. 2018). Identifications were confirmed by Jon Shepard and Paul Hammond prior to digitization. Nomenclature follows that of (Pelham 2008). Results The holdings in these two families are extensive. Combined, they make up 25,743 specimens (24,598 Lycanidae and 1145 Riodinidae).

Many species are phytophagous, feeding directly on plants; filling the primary consumer role of moving energy stored in plants to organisms that are unable to digest plant material (Triplehorn and Johnson 2005). Insects are responsible for a majority of the pollination that occurs and pollination relationships between host plant and pollinator can be very general with one pollinator pollinating many species of plant or very specific with both the plant and the pollinator dependant on each other for survival (Triplehorn and Johnson 2005). Insects can be mutualist, commensal, parasitic or predatory to the benefit or detriment
