The length of the forewings is 7–7.5 millimetres (0.28–0.30 in). The forewings are whitish-ochreous, covered with light brown on the basal area. The hindwings are pale grey.

Etymology

The species is named in honour of Mr. Shinji Shimeki, who collected the holotype.

gollark: Except you're also now lugging around the weight of the batteries and motors.
gollark: Pedals are uncool.
gollark: So if you have a set of electric cars with small batteries - enough to travel within a city and near it - available for rent, and you don't suffer too much overhead from having to rent them out, that could conceivably be a good method of transport.
gollark: Electric cars are expensive *partly* because they need batteries for hundred-mile journeys, even though most actually won't be this long. And cars are kind of inefficient because most of the time they're left idling.
gollark: Personally, I think that local public transport and short-range intra-city electric cars would be worth considering.
