Title: Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing Determinations for Two Puget Trough Species (Taylor's Checkerspot Butterfly and Streaked Horned Lark) 
Abstract: We will finalize listing determinations for two Puget Trough species pursuant to the ESA: the Streaked horned lark and Taylor's checkerspot butterfly. The streaked horned lark (Eremophila alpestris strigata) is found in the remnant prairie ecosystems and coastal dune habitat, preferring bare ground or sparsely vegetated habitats. The lark's current range includes the central and northern Willamette Valley in Oregon and the south Puget Sound and coastal areas in Washington. The Taylor's checkerspot butterfly (Euphydryas editha taylor) also occurs in the glacial wash prairie ecosystems in the south Puget Sound area, with additional populations in grasslands and balds on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington, and grasslands in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, and one population in a recent clear cut in British Columbia. Proposed critical habitat is under RIN 1018-AZ36.
