Separable from the closely allied vinacea, and from fuscilinea which it resembles 

 externally, by the much smaller area of pale patches at the end of the cell on the 

 fore wing. These patches are pale buff; not sparsely scaled as in specularia, another 

 closely allied species. The male and female genitalia are also diagnostic, particularly 

 the short uncus. 



Two subspecies are known : the nominate subspecies (N.E. India), and francki 

 (China).
