Strecker's Checker-spot
Butterfly, male.--The upper side of the wings is bright fulvous, with the margins and veins black. There are three rows of transverse spots paler than the ground-color. The fore wings on the under side are pale fulvous, with pale-yellow spots and a submarginal and marginal row of yellow spots separated by a narrow black line. The hind wings on this side are yellow, with the veins and margins black, and a transverse double band of black on the outer margin of the median area.
Female--Much like the male, but larger, and redder on the upper side. Expanse, male, 1.25 inch; female, 1.50 inch.
Early Stages.--Unknown.
The specimens I have came from the Death Valley. The species occurs in southern Utah and Arizona.
