Miami Blue Butterfly (Cyclargus [=Hemiargus] thomasi bethunebakeri)
Current
status is Endangered
The FWC received an emergency petition to add the
Miami Blue Butterfly to the list of Endangered, Threatened and Species
of Special Concern in 2002. The butterfly was evaluated according to
the listing process rules and it was determined the species warranted
listing as Endangered. The butterfly was emergency listed in 2002
affording it the protections provided under the Endangered Species
rule. Final action was taken in 2003 with the Miami Blue Butterfly
added to the Endangered, Threatened, and Species of Special Concern List
as Endangered. Below are links to the petition that was received in
2002, the final biological status report, and a copy of the approved
management plan.
