The length of the forewings is 16–16.5 mm. The forewings are lutescent (yellowish), with brown scales and with a distinct black dot at the middle of the cell, the end of the cell and at the middle of the fold. The apical area has dense brown scales and there is a blackish spot at the tornus. The hindwings are pale grey.
Etymology
The species name refers to the black dots of the forewing and is derived from Latin stictus (meaning spotted).[2]
gollark: I don't have *100*, I have *310ish*.
gollark: But they *do* run in the background, to some extent.
gollark: I have an addon called "tab suspender" which lets me manually unload tabs to save RAM and let me have hundreds without problems.
gollark: Hmm, I only have about 310 tabs open.
gollark: This is very irritating. My internet connection is dropping packets all over the place, and randomly disconnecting entirely. I blame BT.
