Diagnosis.
Both this and the next species have rich dark brown forewings; the hindwings
are bordered a similar colour but have the basal half dull yellow. The next
species has the pale forewing markings more prominent and more clearly defined;
the submarginal white flecks are much more extensive in callopistrioides; in
thalpophiloides they are restricted to the anterior sixth of the wing.
