      Tempting to think that we could have overlooked this species in the past. Of this group of notoriously
      difficult to identify species, there have been a few specimens which we have suspected as being Pale
      November but non so far have been confirmed. All of the nine specimens have displayed clearly,  as can 
      be seen in the photograph, the discal spot well inside the post-median fascia.
