The bottom of a window frame sits on top of the window sill of the wall opening. [1] A window sill may span the entire width of a wall from inside to outside, as is often the case in basic masonry construction, making it visible on both the interior and exterior of the building. In such a case, the exterior window sill and interior window sill ...
Black specks (Perithecia and Pycnidia) on cankers; Round-ended, cylindrical, monoseptate and hyaline conidia [5] Conidia dimensions: 6.4–13.6 μm in length and 3.69–4.68 μm in diameter [5] In vitro, the fungal growth on an agar plate looks rough and undulated. [5] When grown in vitro on agar, the fungus produces a white to olive-colored ...
Antemedial, postmedial and marginal series of black specks, the first two curved and the first obsolescent. Hindwings ochreous, suffused with fuscous, especially on the outer area. Underside with disk of forewing and whole of hindwing except the costa and inner margin clothed with golden silvery scales. Costa of forewing with a postmedial black ...
Sexes show dimorphism with variable colour morphs. The wingspan of the female is about 46–54 mm, whereas the male's is about 30–40 mm. The adult male has two morphs. The common form is smoke brown with uniformly brown forewings and pale greyish hindwings. In the forewing, black specks and a pale patch outside the subbasal line can be seen. [4]
The effect of this is to create the impression of a semi-solidified bird's dropping with a white raised centre with black specks, a surrounding thinner, more liquid portion and even a drip effect on the lowest margin ending with a little knob. [3] The mimicry is enhanced by the fact that the spider emits an odour not unlike bird excreta. [4]
A marginal black specks series also present. Hindwings are fuscous brown where the base and a diffused medial irregular band are pale. An ochreous patch with black striæ on it at center of outer margin. Cilia pale. Ventral side pale with fuscous submarginal band towards inner margin of each wing. [3]
There are often black specks present on the upper dorsum. The gills and rhinophores are white, with two orange bands. It is similar to Hypselodoris bertschi and has been confused with this species in the past. This species can reach a total length of at least 20 mm and has been observed feeding on yellow sponges from the genus Luffariella. [3] [6]
