It is similar to Enyo gorgon and Enyo taedium taedium, but there are no patches of woolly scaling on the abdomen. The forewing upperside is intermediate in pattern between these two species. The anterior half of the wing has a dark brown, median, longitudinal line that diverges apically to form a dark brown triangular patch. The line is followed by a marginal pale brown half-moon shaped patch.
There are probably two to three generations per year.[2]

gollark: What is that ””””clear solution””””?
gollark: That is definitely an extreme view.
gollark: *Would* you die? I assume you would just have some debt which they'd have to pay eventually.
gollark: I don't really trust governments to decide exactly what I "need".
gollark: I don't think you can blame it on just that. The American system appears to also have lots of bureaucracy, and indirection which reduces the incentive to have low prices.
