Length of h. - w. 28 - 30 mm.; Wadi Hamam, ♂, 31 mm. Wings opaque at apex from the distal end of pterostigma, but the dark space may be reduced to a marginal border, or when broader becoming suffused proximally. ♀ with apex of h. - w. coloured from about tho middle of pterostigma, the colour, however, somewhat suffused proximally.

A series in my collection from Amasia, Asia Minor (Manissadjian, collector), are much larger, h.-w. 36-37 mm., thus rivalling in size Epallage alma . A ♂ from Quetta, on the other hand, has h.-w. 28 mm.
