Anterior wings fuscous, with obsolete whitish and fuscous waved strigae, and 

 behind the middle a narrow undated whitish fascia, into which the fuscous 

 colour of the base projects in a single lobe towards the middle ; in this fascia 

 is an obscure fuscescent striga, between which and the hinder margin, on the 

 costa, is a zigzag white streak, and some very obscure unconnected rudiments 

 of a striga towards the posterior margin : posterior wings paler, sometimes

Common in some places within the metropolitan district towards
