This species differs in its larger size, stout, well-pectinated antennte, the 

 pale ochreous wings, without the usual strigEe and discal dot, the unitbrm 

 straw'-yellow wings, and the single, dark, ochreous, broad, rather diffuse, 

 slightly sinuate line ; in the pinkish front and pectus, while the outer edge 

 of the wing is less sinuate than usual. It is mentioned on page 21 under 

 the name of Euryutene iinita/ia.
