Many species of butterflies are characteristic of or restricted to riparian habitats in the valleys of the Great Basin region. These belong to three elements based on distribution: northern, southern, and widespread. Southern species richness decreases upstream from the Colorado River. Northern species richness decreases downstream and toward the central Great Basin from two distinct, but related, centers: the Humboldt River drainage and the western Nevada drainages. Distribution patterns resemble those demonstrated for birds.
