The wingspan is 19.5 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is yellowish cream, forming an elongate-triangular area along the costa, but the costal edge is rust coloured. The base of the wing and the dorsum are suffused with ferruginous and the subterminal portion of the wing is paler, followed by a ferruginous cream terminal area. The hindwings are cream with a cream ferruginous apical area.
Etymology
The species name refers to the uniform colouration and is derived from Latin aequitas (meaning uniformity, evenness).[2]
gollark: Also, shorter nights, depending on orbit.
gollark: Combining the totally economical launch costs and probably loss of power to transmission of orbital solar with the wide public acceptance of nuclear power!
gollark: Bad idea #12589172598: orbital nuclear power plants.
gollark: Nuclear fission is pretty great too. We should do more of that.
gollark: I mean, orbital launch is not cheap, though in space you benefit from the shorter nights.
