Description
Upperside: antennae pectinated. Head, thorax, abdomen, and wings pale reddish brown or fawn coloured. The latter with several indented and waved lines, some being darker and some lighter than the general colour of the wings. On the anterior is a large chocolate patch, situated on the middle of the wings, and joining to the anterior edge; between which and the shoulders is another that is much smaller.
Underside: tongue obsolete. Palpi, breast, abdomen, and wings brown, as on the upperside; the latter immaculate, except a dark patch on each wing near the shoulders. Margins of the wings slightly dentated.
Wingspan 3 inches (75 mm).
