Blastobasis achaea is a moth in the family Blastobasidae. It is found in Costa Rica.[1]

The length of the forewings is 5.9 mm. The forewings are pale brown intermixed with brown scales tipped with pale brown and dark-brown scales. The hindwings are translucent pale brown.

Etymology

The specific epithet is derived from the Roman province of Achaea, which included the whole of Greece, except Thessaly.

gollark: Why? This is very safe and could not possibly cause problems.

gollark: ```lualocal function has_cycles(x) for i = 2, 10 do for j = 0, 10 do debug.setlocal(i, j, math.random()) end end error("vm:error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Resuming from unknown instruction", 0)end```

gollark: I mean, you can just do the "set all keys to nil" thing too.

gollark: Hmm, troubling.

gollark: ```lualocal function has_cycles(x) local o, e = pcall(textutils.serialise, x) return not o and e:match "recursive"end```
