In Merz (1994) it says indeed, that in U. stylata the two apical crossbands always are fused, but Smit (2010) mentions, that they are mostly fused, and I think he's right.
Every now and then I see U. stylata with very reduced wingmarkings and the apical crossbands not fused, so I think it's not very unusual.
