Head greyish drab. Face greyish drab above, dirty white below. 

 Eyes black. Palpi : above, drab at the base, greyish drab at the 

 apex and sides ; beneath, drab at the base, dusky at the apex, whitish 

 between. Antennae : above, greyish drab, darker beneath. Thorax 

 and patagia greyish drab, the latter paler and shining at the apex. 

 Anterior wings dull, the costal portion drab, the dorsal grey, with 

 chocolate-coloured markings ; the costa marked throughout with 

 oblique streaks, those on the apical half alternately broad and nar- 

 row, the broad ones produced, and directed to a point below the 

 apical spot, which is distinct and well defined. The base is marked 

 with small spots ; towards the former, on the dorsal margin, is an 

 irregular trigonate patch ; its inner edge convex, the outer concave, 

 and the apex produced ; within the anal angle is another irregularly- 

 shaped patch, with its apex turned towards the base. At the middle 

 of the apical margin arises a third marking, somewhat hook-shaped ; 

 this, with the preceding one, is frequently of a m'uch paler colour 

 than the sub-basal dorsal patch, and between them are two lustrous 

 leaden clouds, separated by a row of more or less distinct spots or 

 longitudinal streaks, together forming the ocelloid patch ; the pale 

 portions of the wing clouded with pale fuscous and grey. Apical 

 scales more or less intense, of chocolate- colour, with drab bases and 

 whitish tips. Cilia dull, dusky brown, softening into pale bases 

 with whitish tips, both becoming drab, or white, at the anal angle, 

 and iron-grey beyond it. Posterior wings clothed with coarse fus- 

 cous scales, darkest towards the apex, on a pale-grey ground. Mar- 

 ginal scales fuscous, with paler bases. Cilia pale fuscous, and 

 shining. Abdomen pale fuscous ; the caudal tuft tawny. $ Exp. al.

Far from uncommon, and varies considerably in size as well 

 as colour. The variety triquetrana consists in having the dorsal 

 half of the wing suffused with umber, of more or less intensity. 

 The variety costana has the anterior wings very dark, with the 

 costa broadly white. It has very much the appearance, in its 

 typical form, of Cartella bilunana, but is readily distinguished 

 from that species by its pale grey head, more suffused anterior
