The type of this species is somewhat aberrant, the 

 reniform being represented by a slender whitish-edged 

 black litura ; it is also faded, and thus much resembles a 

 ToxocampAd ; fresh examples are much darker in colour, 

 and the ten specimens taken by Dr. Trail agree in having 

 the discoidal spots pale greenish-yellow with dusky 

 margins.
