ETWP: Saint Francis' Satyr and Hine's Emerald Dragonfly; Final Rules

The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) determines the Saint Francis' satyr butterfly (Neonympha mitchellii francisci) to be an endangered species under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). This butterfly is known only from a single locality in North Carolina. Recent heavy collecting pressure on this butterfly has resulted in the one small remaining population being reduced to near extinction. This action implements Federal protection and recovery provisions for Saint Francis' satyr, as provided by the Act.
