"The distinctive wing pattern with squarish clear 'windows' on the black leading edge of the wing, along with a rather narrow, waxy vitta running the length of the frons (top of the head), and black arista (not white as in the very similar genus Limnia) are the keys to this identification." --comment by Bill Murphy
