The species exhibits considerable color variation, with forewings ranging from orange and ochre to gray, gray-violet, and black. It inhabits high-elevation spruce-fir forests and mid-elevation ponderosa pine forests of the Rocky Mountains and Pacific Northwest. The species was formerly treated as a subspecies of Apamea auranticolor but is now recognized as distinct.
