the uniformly curved darker shaded undulate line; traces of the distal transverse line forming an acute angle

B. demura Dyar (44 b). Forewing ochreous-yellow with a feeble brownish tint, smooth and with demura. 
a silky gloss, not strewn, with fine not undulate brown transverse lines, the two distal ones subcostally almost
