The length of the forewings is 13.5–16 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is fuscous, while the hindwings are pale fuscous, but darker along the veins and wing margins.[2]
The larvae possibly feed on Pinus occidentalis.
Etymology
The name is derived from the type locality and the Latin suffix -ensis (denoting place).
gollark: It's what happens when you are EVIL and BE A C PROGRAMMER.
gollark: ```python>>> x = ctypes.cast(7, ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_int64))>>> x.contentsfish: “python3” terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)```
gollark: How does ctypes work?
gollark: Hmm, my evil plan to override `7` in Python is failing?
gollark: That does not exist.
