Chloealtis abdominalis

Description

Chloealtis abdominalis (Thomas, 1873)

Chloealtis abdominalis: Vickery & Kevan, 1983: 1122; Vickery, 1984: 27; Berman et al., 1995: 4; Vickery, 1997: 231; Haberski et al., 2021: 36.

Remarks. It primarily inhabits parklands and dry forests with grassy clearings, where it feeds on grasses and sedges (Vickery & Kevan, 1983). In the vicinity of Kluane Lake, it occurs through all steppe slopes, but most abundant in dry tundra where it is related with dump grassy locations (Berman et al., 1995). It is widely distributed throughout Canada and the United States and has also been recorded from Alaska, Yukon and the Northwest Territories.
