The wingspan is about 38 mm for males 48 mm for females. Adults are similar to Auzata superba, but all the wings have a double antemedial pale fuscous line and an interrupted submarginal band of the same colour. The hindwings have a patch as on the forewings. The fringes of all wings are pale fuscous, interrupted with white at the ends of the nervules.[3]

gollark: (for tracing reasons, a unique ID is given to each clock cycle)
gollark: No. All GTechâ„¢ computers generate 185 IDs per Planck instant. Each.
gollark: If it's right, then why do you literally consist of a large hexadecahedron containing GTechâ„¢ fundamental particle 11284?
