Elophila ealensis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by David John Lawrence Agassiz in 2012.[1] It is found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[2]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are white with fuscous markings. The hindwings are white basally, with a dark fuscous median fascia, edged with white, as well as a fuscous band before the whitish termen.

Etymology

The species name refers to Eala (in Tshuapa Province), the type locality.[3]

gollark: They could boot people doing actually useful stuff instead of you, and they can't know how time-consuming a task is without running it.

gollark: Great!

gollark: Is it ethical to use Google Colab for dubiously useful ML tasks? I trained a GPT-2 instance on some of my Discord messages.

gollark: (also, they aren't unreadable since you can just unbase64 them)

gollark: I don't see this as a horrible problem, but a bigger one is that base64 does not actually compress things.
