Secondaries fuscous brown, darker towards the margins. Head and palpi greyish brown, collar and antennas light brown, thorax greyish brown, abdomen fuscous brown. Under surface pale fuscous grey, darker towards the margins, fringes checkered with darker, four black dots along the costa towards the apex of primaries. Expanse 38 millim. Var. UNICOLOR. (Plate XXXII. fig. 10 a.) Darker than the type and without any trace of the central fascia, the only markings noticeable being the basal dash and the sub-marginal bands.

A long series in coll. Pryer without locality. LITHOSIA AFFINEOLA, Brem. NOTODONTA TREPIDA. CNETHOCAMPA PROCESSIONEA, L.
