ITIS Reports — Icaricia icarioides fenderi ITIS (the Integrated Taxonomic Information System) is a source for authoritative taxonomic information on plants, animals, fungi, and microbes of North America and the world. Fender’s blue butterfly is an endangered subspecies of butterfly endemic to the Willamette Valley of northwestern Oregon, United States. The subspecies was first documented in the 1920s and was described to science in 1931 by biologist Ralph Macy. He named it for his friend, Kenneth Fender, an entomologist and mail carrier. The subspecies was not seen after the 1930s and was presumed extinct. Small populations were rediscovered in 1989. Its eponym, Fender, had died nine years earlier. In January 2000, Fender’s blue butterfly was added to the Endangered Species List by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The largest known populations now exist in the Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge. A 2014 study reintroduced this subspecies to William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge. The potential range of the butterfly extends from south and west of Portland, OR to south of Eugene, OR.
