Ground color luteous to chocolate brown. Head concolorous. 

 Collar with a black median line, and usually in the female a broad 

 dusky band below tip. Thorax crossed by broad dusky bands; one 

 of them, behind the middle, posteriorly edged with gray, so that in 

 some cases it forms quite a conspicuous whitish fascia. Abdomen

 tufts very small and often wanting. Primaries varying greatly in 

 tint and in distinctness of maculation. Basal space usually a little 

 darker and crossed by brown shade lines. Basal line geminate, rarely 

 distinct, usually indicated. T. a. line geminate, sometimes l'asciate, 

 very markedly oblique, reaching the inner margin within basal 

 fourth while starting at basal third of costa. T. p. line geminate, 

 usually only the inner line distinct, black or brown, outwardly
