The length of the forewings is 10.5–12 mm for males and 17 mm for females. The ground colour of both wings is pale buff and the costa is very dark brown at the base, while the remainder is pale brown. There is a line of lustrous scales immediately posterior to the costa from the base to near the apex and a second line along the middle of the cell from the base of the wing. The antemedial fascia is double, the proximal line brown and lustrous and the distal line pale brown and faintly marked. There is an irregular brown or dark brown marking at the distal end of the cell, and an irregular, lustrous, brown marking between the apex and the cell. The postmedial fascia is double, with a pale brown proximal line hardly discernible and a darker distal line which is lustrous with black spots on the veins. The hindwings have a trace of a non-lustrous antemedial fascia and the postmedial fascia is double and similar in colour to that of the forewings.[3]

gollark: But if you want to just do `vector[2]` and there's no element 2 panicking is better than uninitialized memory access.
gollark: Yes, as it also is in Rust.
gollark: Well, it has *panics*, but those are for unrecoverable errors (out of bounds indexing, etc).
gollark: Async will just magically magic everything away, in a wave of syntax sugar and performance issues.
gollark: Might they not paginate æons later?
