ID COMMENTS: The colors of this species are predominantly light brown (sepia) (Miller, 1986). The scales on the head, thorax, and abdomen are a mixture of white and brown. The forewings are pale brown with two dark brown (umber) patches, one located before the antemedian and one in the postmedian area; both are more restricted in extent than the dark patches in other members of this genus. Our specimens are smooth-looking above, but markedly striated in dark and white along the costa. The speculum is gray with a transverse band of orange.
