Oeneis uhleri is resident in Alaska, the Yukon and Northwest Territories of Canada, and across the central Canada/U.S. boarder to as far south as New Mexico (Scott 1986). Habitats are transition to Hudsonian zone dry bunchgrass. Host plants are unknown, probably grass. Eggs are laid on grasses and sedges singly. This species is probably biennial (at least in Alberta); individuals overwinter as second, third fourth or fifth instar larvae. There is one flight each year with the approximate flight time late May ? early July (Scott 1986). Some sources consider Oeneis uhleri a subspecies of Oeneis bore.
