    They are all fairly typical dsf Scobura isota.


    S. isota & cephala have been much confused.


    Scobura cephala.
    FW spot 4 always present.
    UnH with a large rectangular spot in space 1b, in continuation of the spot in space 2 (In Evans' time space 1b is called space 1c .)
    Dsf with lighter brown shadings beyond the spots. In wsf always deeply shaded brown.
    See fieldshots at bottom of webpage.

    Scobura isota.
    FW spot 4 usually absent.
    UnH spot in space 1b absent or small & vestigial, often with a corresponding small spot in space 6.
    Dsf unH ground entirely yellow.
    WsF UnH with brown shading as in S. cephala.

    These should all be S. isota.
