Under surface of both wings pale grey-brown with yellowish costal area apicad on fore wing 

 and with trace of postmedial fascia on both wings. Legs very pale brown with outer surface 

 of pro- and meso thoracic legs grey-brown.

$. Similar to male, but antenna ciliate and very weakly biserrate. 



$ genitalia as in Text-fig. 101. 



This species apparently forms a superspecies with rugosa from which it differs in 

 the male genitalia (see rugosa). It is also closely related to prunicolor and flavilinea 

 but can be distinguished by the male and female genitalia, and by the shape on the 

 fore wing of the posterior half of the antemedial fascia which is straight and at right 

 angles to the anal margin of the wing. It is also separable from prunicolor by the 

 venation of the fore wing.

Separable from rectilinea with which it forms a superspecies, by the male genitalia (particularly 

 by the shape of the eighth abdominal tergite and sternite, the aedeagus, gnathus, uncus, and 

 the weakly bifurcate socii).

Distinguished in both sexes from the rest of the genus by the obsolescent sub- 

 terminal fascia on either fore or hind wing, and in the male by the presence of only 

 one pair of spurs in the hind tibia. The male genitalia are also diagnostic, especially 

 by virtue of the presence of eversible sacs and the absence of an uncus.
