The next four species have the antemedial black area extending across the wing to the costa, but in tepescens and its close relative described below this antemedial band never has any whitish edging on its distal side, and the postmedial hieroglyph is not hook-like as in bubo but more bolt-shaped with the largest process directed distad. See the next species for distinction of the two.
