Description
A species which can be confused with H. bastialis. It is usually grey brown with an overall reticulate pattern overlain with a web of distinctive linear marks. The FW is falcate. A diagonal line at the FW tip forks in the middle and runs posteriad delineating a sub terminal area, which encloses two more small, slightly elongate spots.
