Extract

Above brighter ochre than any American form except subfusca Barnes and Benjamin, from Arizona. The entire upper surface is a tawny ochre that in some males is dusted with gray near the margins. The fringes are nearly white and contrast sharply. Under side of the primaries lighter ochre, crossed by a very distinct, long postdiscal band of white; the margins are washed with gray-white. Lower surface of the secondaries gray or brown dusted over with grayish white and crossed by an irregular median band of white that in some specimens sends projections into the basal anea. Apical ocelli on the primaries and submarginal ones on the secondaries are strong, obsolescent or not present at all.
