The length of the forewings is 5–5.2 mm for males and 5.3–5.5 mm for females. Adults have dark fuscous to light brown forewings reflecting a slight purplish to golden luster, variably marked with streaks and small patches of pale cream to white scales. They are on wing in December in one generation per year.[1]
Etymology
The specific name is derived from Latin bi (meaning two or double) and fibra (meaning filament) and refers to the two filamentous appendages arising from the aedoeagus.
