male from the same locality which differs in being much darker 

 and in having the central white band reduced to a white blotch 

 surrounding the discal spot, with 2 or 3 white ringlets below.

 species resembles a pale specimen of Hydriomena basaliata 

 Walker (western form), but the conspicuous white median 

 band is distinctive.
