Southern Dusky-wing
Butterfly.--Easily distinguished from the preceding species by the much larger size of the translucent spots on the fore wings. Expanse, 1.40-1.50 inch.
Early Stages.--The habits of the larva are very similar to those of the preceding species, and the caterpillar feeds on herbaceous leguminosae.
It ranges from the Connecticut Valley, where it is rare, southward along the coast and through the Mississippi Valley as far south and west as Texas.
