Anterior wings slightly caudate, brownish-ash, with numerous irregular 

 darker brown streaks, the base with an obscure brown fascia occupying 

 nearly one-third of the wing ; behind the middle is a distinct reddish-brown 

 one, slightly angulated in the middle behind, and a little darkened there by 

 a longitudinal dusky streak : near the apex is a brownish cloud : the costa 

 is prettily streaked with white, with a brown dot at the tip : cilia ashy, 

 with fuscous lines : posterior wings pale brownish. 



The fascia behind the middle of the anterior wings is frequently interrupted, 

 and sometimes throws out two processes behind. 



Rare, at least near London : it has been taken in some plenty by 

 Mr. Bentley near Brockenhurst, in the New Forest, and has also 

 occurred near Ambleside.
