Habitat, Texas.

I have named this beautiful little insect for Miss Dellie Stebbins, who

 a dorsal white stripe, and the inner edge of the patagiae is also white. 



The forewings are pale fawn coloured and mixed more or less with

 The costa and hinder border are narrowly edged with white, and the
