Distinguished from the name — typical form of sjostedti Auriv. 

 (Schwed. Zool. Exped. Kilim. (9) p. 42, t. ii, fig. 26, from Kilimanjaro) 

 by having the dark parts slightly less blackish-grey with a stronger 

 slaty gloss, fore wing with a fine, nearly straight white antemedian 

 line present (as in argyridia Butl. and disparate/, Warr. Nov. Zool. iv, 

 t. v, fig. 12), median band distally, and especially the white band 

 beyond it, less extremely projecting than in sjostedti, the distal area 

 consequently of more uniform width throughout ; hind wing with the 

 angulated median line extremely faint or obsolete ; both wings with the 

 fringes paler, being dirty whitish, on the proximal half chequered with 

 grey opposite the veins (in sjostedti almost uniform black-grey in 

 proximal half, white-grey or dirty whitish in distal).
