Withered Mocis

Adult fore-wing is usually purplish-brown (sometimes yellowish-brown or pale gray) with darker shading in sub-terminal area, and usually paler shading in terminal area; lines thin, distinct at close range but showing little contrast against ground color and therefore not noticeable at a distance; PM line bulges inward just above inner margin but the bulge is faint, giving the illusion that the PM line stops before reaching the inner margin; sub-terminal line a series of black dots; hind-wing yellowish-brown or orange-brown with diffuse grayish shading distally, and dark PM and terminal lines.
