On the under side it is wholly unlike xanthoides, the wings being pale pearly-gray, pale ochreous on the outer margins, the spots of the fore wings black and of the hind wings ochreous, narrowly margined with white or fine black lines. Expanse, 1.10-1.25 inch.

Early Stages.--Entirely unknown.

This species is found in Nevada.
