Differs from cerealis in the whole abdomen being brown above ; 

 the wings yellowish white. Pore wing with the markings more 

 fuscous ; a large brown patch below middle of cell with ill-defined 

 markings interrupted by white patches between it and base on one 

 side of it and on the other the submarginal band, which is broader 

 towards costa ; a subquadrate marginal patch below apex instead 

 of the dentate marks. Hind wing with the submarginal band 

 fuscous, narrow below vein 5, from which point it is sharply bent
