The six eye-spots on the secondaries are black and very conspicuous. The marginal bands are darker and heavier than in any other species of the genus. Expanse, male, 2.00 inches; female, 2.50 inches.

The early stages are only partially known.

Alicia ranges through the Gulf States from Florida to Texas.
