The wingspan is 20–30 mm. The forewings are light grey with sharp dots, two dots in the discal area almost confluenting into an oblique streak. The two other dots are found in the middle part and at the wing base. Adults are on wing in October.
Etymology
The species is named after Dr S. Endrödy-Younga, a famous South African entomologist.
gollark: Particles actually gain mass through extremely small sub-femtoscale bees.
gollark: This is basically just word association games.
gollark: They actually build models, look at how it could work, see how it interacts with things, and if possible find ways to test it against what actually happens.
gollark: Physicists do not sit around armchairishly going "hmm, what if stuff gets mass because of a 'field'?" and then getting it named after them.
gollark: If you are to actually make bold claims about theoretical physics instead of just paraphrasing random quantum things it would be beneficial to learn the relevant maths so you can understand the models.
