The wingspan is about 7.2 mm. The forewings are pale greyish brown, mottled by brownish grey tipped scales. There are dark brown scales beyond the middle of the wing, forming two irregular spots near the costal and tornal margins. The same scales are found in the apical area, where they form an elongate spot. The hindwings are dark brown. Adults have been recorded on wing in early March.
Etymology
The species name refers to the peculiarly blunt apex of the saccus and is derived from Latin obtusus (meaning blunt, dull).[3]
gollark: Well, yes, but at atrocious throughput.
gollark: If you run it over a phone connection as if it is audio, you are subject to the same issues.
gollark: And in practice you'll get less because stuff isn't optimized for the precise weirdness of phone codecs and there's some lossiness.
gollark: If your phone uses a bitrate of, say, 64kbps, for encoding "voice" audio, then by the pigeonhole principle it is literally impossible to send more than 64kbps down that by meddling with audio.
gollark: Low-bandwidth, at least.
