Adult Markings: Entephria separata is a medium-sized Carpet, with slate- to brownish-gray forewings marked with the usual pattern of narrow wavy lines. The antemedian and postmedian lines are both white and scalloped and often broken into separate spots; the subterminal is also whitish and more strongly scalloped. The post-basal and postmedial areas are distinctively suffused with caramel, which should distinguish it from all of our other Carpets. Hindwings are paler gray, especially basally but becoming darker in the outer third. A dark gray postmedial line is closely followed by a light gray subterminal line, both scalloped (Troubridge, 1997). Sexes are similar. |
