Differs from hypospilata in the ground-colour being grey-brown ; 
the waved lines more prominent ; a postmedial series of pale specks 
more or less developed, and the submarginal series obsolescent. 
Underside whitish ; the discocellular spots larger; the postmedial 
band replaced by a series of streaks, which at middle almost join 
the submarginal spots, which form an almost complete band except 
between veins 3 and 4. 
Larva dark olive-green ; pupa reddish, with greenish head and

Palpi roughly scaled and reaching beyond the slight frontal tuft ; 
hind tibize with two pairs of spurs. Fore wing with vein 3 from 
close to angle of cell; 5 from above middle of discocellulars ; 6, 7 
stalked; 11 anastomosing with 8, 9, 10 to form a small areole. 
Hind wing with vein 3 from close to angle of cell; 5 from above 
middle of discocellulars; 6, 7 stalked; 8 anastomosing with 7 to 
beyond middle of cell. 
In the typical section the antenne of male are slightly thickened
