The termen is whitish yellow. The hindwings are pale brown.
Etymology
The species name refers to the similarity with Cryptolechia torophanes and is derived from Latin falsus (meaning false).[2]
gollark: This is the minoteaur UI as of now.
gollark: I found a cool notes application called Standard Notes, and while I probably won't use it for unrelated reasons, it has a neat UI.
gollark: Also, I'm thinking about pointlessly reworking minoteaur's UI again.
gollark: > redditor for 4 days
gollark: Huh, that does exist.
