Francis Walker (entomologist) British entomologist (1809-1874)

Francis Walker was an English entomologist. He was one of the most prolific authors in entomology, and stirred controversy during his later life as his publications resulted in a huge number of junior synonyms.

Adults are cinereous, very thickly speckled with brown, the forewings moderately broad, slightly rounded at the tips, with two round blackish dots, one before the middle, one beyond the middle. The exterior border is extremely oblique. [2]
