The length of the forewings is 4.9–5.9 millimetres (0.19–0.23 in). The basal 1/5 of the costa of the forewings is brownish grey. The ground colour is white, irregularly powdered with dark brown tips of scales forming very indistinct streaks in the middle of the wing at the fold and at 2/3 of the wing. The hindwings are translucent and light grey and the underside of the wings is light brownish grey.

Etymology

The species name is derived from Latin granum (meaning grain).

gollark: osmarkscalculator™.
gollark: How would *you* do it?
gollark: Well, except the Python ones; everyone knows Python can't `write` and you have to construct an ELF binary to call out to to do that instead.
gollark: And my last ones.
gollark: Even *I* know that the right way to do it would be to write the data to a file, use a hexdump program on the file, pipe that to the `printf` command or something to convert that to decimal, and then redirect the output of *that* to a file which you then memory-map and call `write` on.
