M. scutulata Janse differs from typica in an exterior row of light spots in the d', wich are more distinct scutulata. 
and more distant from the exterior line than in typica $. The hindwing of scutulata is as dark as that of

Interior line black and distinct, strongly extra-angrdar below the costal margin, below the cell in the place 
of the coniform macula, and above the inner margin. Within the coniform macula a black streak. The ring- 
macula is indicated by a greyish-brown centre, edged with black scales. The median line is a short black streak
