- BND: Satyr Anglewing; Polygonia satyrus (W. H. Edwards, 1869)
- BNA: Satyr Comma; Polygonia satyrus
- NDC: POSA
- Habitat: Essentially a western species of riparian situations; the validity of ND records for this species is questionable, but numerous historical reports prohibit its elimination from the state list. (No known ND examples exist; examples of P. comma from north-central ND counties mimic superficial wing markings of P. satyrus, a fact that has led to frequent misidentifications and erroneous reports.)
- Larval food: Primarily Urtica spp., but also Humulus spp. and perhaps Betula
- Adult flight: Westward with two broods as far north as Saskatechewan, the second brood overwintering as adults
