The length of the forewings is 13–13.5 mm. The forewings are brown, but yellow along the apex and termen and the costal margin with a yellowish spot beyond the middle and at the distal one-fifth. There is a single dark dot at the middle, at the end of the cell and near the end of the fold. The hindwings are grey.

Etymology

The species name refers to the shape of the uncus in the male genitalia and is derived from Latin fustiformis (meaning sticklike).[2]

gollark: The panels are really energy-intensive to produce anyway, degrade after 20 years, and you need uncool fossil-fuel plants to cover for the solar panels when they don't produce, which is often.
gollark: Except for remote places which can't get grid connectivity.
gollark: Solar is somewhat uncool in my opinion.
gollark: I'm very slowly writing a blog post for my blog (which has an amazing *six posts*) on the importance of people having access to strong encryption, but writing is hard.
