The length of the forewings is 4.2-4.7 mm. The forewings have off-white, brown-tipped scaling, overlaid with orange-ochre scales of variable shades on the veins and along the side veins and anal area on the basal half. There are beige, narrower scales on the distal half of the costa and two black dots in the fold at one-third and above the fold. The hindwings are greyish brown. Adults have been recorded on wing in February, March and May.
Etymology
The species name refers to the scimitar-shaped signum in the female corpus bursae.[2]
gollark: Tailscale handles most of that via a central configuration server, and has NAT traversal, making my stuff much easier.
gollark: Basically, osmarksnetnet™ 1 involved me manually copypasting Wireguard configuration keys everywhere, and everything only connected to one server at a time, and I had to have nftables, and it was very irritating.
gollark: The mesh is layer 2, so routing doesn't care.
gollark: No, that's irrelevant.
gollark: Convenient mesh-y autoconfig.
