 and, in rubbed specimens, by the three blackish bands on the fore wings, and 

 by its olivaceous hue; also, by the dentate and scalloped, very distinct, outer 

 line, situated in the outer fourth of the wing; by the clear hind wings, with 

 a single line, and the distinct, apical, oblique line on the fore wings.
