Description. FW gray; shaded with brown, particularly in reniform; with heavy blackish shade running obliquely from basal dash to outer margin, just beneath apex (interrupted only near subreniform). HW black, with white fringe. 55-65 mm. H 32:5 (as carolina, an atypical specimen). B & Mc 2: 12.
Similar species. See robinsoni "missouriensis." The HW fringe is blackish in angusi "lucetta."
Range. Massachusetts to North Carolina and west throughout area.
Status. Generally uncommon to rare.
Larval foodplants. Hickories (Carya) (AEB). Notes. Like judith, seems to be a late flyer (see Appendix One), and may therefore be considered very rare by collectors whose efforts terminate before the early-morning hours.
