The length of the forewings is 19-19.5 mm for males and 21 mm for females. The ground color of the forewings is hyaline (glass like), with blackish-brown veins as they pass through hyaline areas. The hindwings are hyaline, also with blackish brown veins in the hyaline area.
Etymology
The species is named in honor of Steve Fratello.
gollark: Mr W[REDACTED], the other one, and the other other one?
gollark: No, it's three.
gollark: No, we have three of them, only *one* is.
gollark: I wonder what causes that. As an entirely anecdotal example, the sixth form computer science class I'm going into next year has something like 11 people, all male.
gollark: Actually, I just have views which kind of line up with yours, and am very contrarian.
