Much less common than the Dion. It’s range is smaller and is more restricted to coastal areas but does just get into the Big Bend Area.  It is identified by a pale ray on the underside of the hindwing that runs from the body to the edge of the hind wing.  The forewing also has a black edge in the top corner.
