Emmel is an early seasonal form and not a subspecies. Form minimulticaudata is tiny in size, and is caused by starvation of second-generation larvae in the lower mountains the previous late summer. This research was started when Michael S. Fisher was studying the forms he was observing. As a result, the tiny form minimulticaudata was named by Fisher & Scott in Fisher (2012), who summarized the distribution and flight periods of the forms.born digitaljournals (periodicals)engCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
