This species, which is southern in its habitat, and larger than its close northern ally, tessellaris, has the markings on the fore wings much more distinct than is the case in the latter species. The tarsi are annulated with black bands, marked with small gray points. The insect occurs in the Gulf States and in South and Central America.
