The wingspan is 16–22 mm. The costa of the forewings is brownish. The remaining area is white. The basal third of the hindwings is concolorous with the forewing. There is a yellow antemedian fascia, followed by a silver-grey fascia, edged with brown. Adults have been recorded on wing from April to June, from August to September and from November to December.
Etymology
The species is named in honour of the wife of the author with the Latin prefix bella (meaning beautiful).[3]

gollark: That can't be right, surely. Ignoring the fact that insurance negotiates with hospitals and whatever and there's lots of weird bureaucracy, insurance pays for many very expensive things you as an individual may not need.
