The extraordinary breadth of the fore-wings (which are as broad 
as those of the preceding species, although of considerably less ex- 
panse) is alone sufficient to distinguish this from the two other 
species of this Section.

This species (to which I have restored Illiger’s specific name, 
which has been overlooked by all subsequent authors, although 
several years prior to Leach’s) is at once distinguished from the 
two preceding species by the shape of the fore-wings, of which the 
anterior margin is almost straight, at least for two-thirds of the 
length of the wing; they are consequently not so greatly dilated as 
in the two preceding. The colour of the wings is also of a much 
ee yellow, and the markings are fine brown, instead of obscure 
ack.
