Some specimens have the double lines of the fore wing and bands 

 of the hind wing almost completely filled in with fuscous, and the 

 spaces between the bands of the fore wing without striae. The 

 form teriadata is small (30-40 millim.), the hind wing with a few 

 striae between the bands ; sparsaria, a larger form, also has some 

 striae between the bands of the hind wing ; ciniferaria is nearly 

 evenly striated all over, the oblique lines of fore wing sometimes 

 single and ill-defined.
