The wingspan is about 20 millimetres (0.79 in). The ground colour of the forewings is cream, suffused with reddish rust in the dorsoposterior and median areas of the wing and with pale brownish suffusions between the veins in the subcostal area. The hindwings are cream, tinged with pale brownish near the apex and with grey strigulation.
Etymology
The generic name is an anagram of the name of the type-species. The specific name refers to the shape of the transtilla and is derived from Greek kentrotos (meaning provided with a thorn).[1]
gollark: If I want to cross a chasm with a bridge, or something, I can draw on my limited knowledge of physics and materials science and whatever and put together a somewhat sensible prototype, then make inferences from what happens to it, and get something working out.
gollark: No. We can reason about problems in various ways. So can some animals.
gollark: It doesn't have its own will. It's a giant non-agent mess driven by tons of interacting blind optimization processes.
gollark: Depends. There's not a general answer which isn't vaguely stupid somehow.
gollark: It isn't useful to treat it as intelligent because it doesn't display intelligent behaviours.
