Cercyonis meadii alamosa
Cercyonis meadii alamosa is a subspecies of the Mead's satyr butterfly (Cercyonis meadii), a member of the brush-footed butterfly family Nymphalidae. The species C. meadii is considered endangered in Missouri, where the nominate subspecies occurs. The subspecies epithet "alamosa" suggests an association with the Alamosa region of Colorado, though specific distinguishing characteristics from other subspecies remain undocumented in available sources. Like other Cercyonis species, adults are likely active during late summer.
