Dark Dusky-wing
Butterfly.--A little larger than the preceding species, especially in the female sex. The male is generally quite dark, the banding of the fore wing on the upper side obscured. The hind wings have a row of light marginal and submarginal spots, more distinct on the under side than on the upper. The female generally is light gray on the upper side of the wings, with broad median and submarginal bands of dark brown, tending to fuse or coalesce at a point near the origin of the first median nervule. Expanse, male, 1.25 inch; male, 1.50 inch.
Early Stages.--But little is known of these.
All of the specimens I have ever seen came from southern Florida.
