The Uncompahgre fritillary butterfly (Boloria improba acrocnema) is a species of butterfly in the Order Lepidoptera: Family Nymphalidae that is endemic to Colorado, USA.
Discovered in the summer of 1978, the Uncompahgre fritillary was first described as a subspecies of Boloria improba, commonly known as the dingy fritillary but further genetic data supported classifying them as a full species.
