Anterior wings at the base to beyond the middle brownish, this space termi- 

 nated by an oblique obscure brown fascia, edged with gold colour ; beyond 

 this are two other oblique abbreviated golden costal spots, and a third in-

 inner margin : near the anal angle are two or three black streaks placed 

 transversely ; and on the extreme hinder margin is a black line : posterior 

 wings brownish, yellowish behind. 

 Not uncommon, at least within the metropolitan district : taken in

Anterior wings acute, pale ashy-brown, the costa with oblique streaks of white
