(1) Identification
"100. Coenostola martyralis. 28 mm. Dusty reddish brown, the fringes on the forewings from the middle to the inner angle, whitish on the back. Both blemishes small, dull gray-brown; across the round a dusty brown, slightly curved transverse line; the outer transverse line also dusty gray-brown, at the front edge far from the kidney-blemish, making in the midst of an angular projection, under it straight to the inner margin, over the hind wings, which still have a dark center, continued in the same way. Bottom gray-brown, all drawing extinguished. - 1 ♂ Mus. Ca e s. (Originalis has the same design on dusty brown-gray background and is twice as big, according to the original, in the British Museum, but changes in size, since a piece in the Imperial Museum, in which I otherwise see no difference, is no bigger than martyralis.)" - Google translation of original description from Lederer, (1863).
