Eastern representatives of this species seem to differ from those I have seen 

 from the Pacific Coast in the darker colors of both surfaces of the wing (which 

 are soft pearly gray beneath, in California examples), and usually in more dis- 

 tinct and extensive orange edging to the mesial band of the under surface of the 

 hind wiu<rs.
