Light ochreous colouration of head, thorax and forewings strongly suppressed by reddish ochreous-brown hairs and scales; all forewing markings blurred; reniform and orbicular stigmata defined only by a few lighter ochreous spots; crosslines faint, submarginal field darker brown with some reddish tint; hindwings in males whitish with diffuse, pale greyish marginal area; in females somewhat darker, light grey with fuscous marginal field.
Male genitalia ( Fig. 45). The diagnostic features are the distally tapering valvae with robust, obtuse and terminally slightly dilated harpe (clasper),
stan, VZ 10087m, 40 = paratype, Kazakhstan, VZ 10094m
and the subbasal diverticulum of the vesica is relatively larger than in the two other subspecies.
