streak, on the dise beyond the middle, is a small whitish spot ; the whitish 
hinder fascia is almost oblusely angulated, and terminates in a dark 
fuscous blotch on the costa; the hinder margin and apex of the costa 
are spotted with dark fuscous; cilia greyish-fuscous. Posterior wings

cilia pale fuscous, varied with darker fuscous. Posterior wings whitish 
at the base, towards the apex pale fuscous, with paler cilia. 
The perfect insect appears in July, but is hardly ever seen; a
