Forewing dull brown; stigmata outlined in black ; the round orbicular and the reniform with whitish rings: subterminal line formed of ochreous points and black wedge-shaped markings: hindwing pale brownish, with whitish fringe. Occurs throughout the South of Europe and in western Asia; - the ab. bornicensis Fuchs is a more unicolorous form, with obscure markings and ab. nigrescens Hofm.
