Description/ Field Marks: |
Pristerognatha agilana typically has two pairs of yellowish antemedial costal striae (each pair sometimes fused) and a silver line extending outwardly from each pair, also sometimes fused but not narrowing as in O. auricapitana. A centrally located silver spot may occur between the antemedial and postmedial silver lines closer to the outer margin than that of O. auricapitana. Opposite the antemedial costal striae lie a pair of silver dorsal striae or elongated spots, often fused or poorly defined. Costal striae often with white scales at costal margin. |
