Diagnosis
Forewing ground color ranging from pale gray brown to, more commonly, a rusty brown, occasionally reddish brown (paprika colored), never dark; both FW and soma more heavily peppered with black scales than in Abagrotis nefascia; both fasciae and subterminal line (as dashes on underside, scalloping on upperside) less conspicuous than in Abagrotis nefascia. Scobinate patch on vesicae of male genitalia with 12 or fewer denticles, at least two of them markedly larger than others. Female bursa with a single signum.
