The length of the forewings is 7.1–7.8 mm (0.28–0.31 in) for males and 7.9–8.3 mm (0.31–0.33 in) for females. The ground color of the forewings is grayish with a series of elongated dark markings, the most conspicuous being an oblique line originating at the costa before the middle reaching a longitudinal line that runs from the middle to near the termen. There are three irregular black dots on the posterior half. The hindwing ground color is white.

Etymology

The species is named in honor of John Pringle, a member of the small group of academic faculty who have supported Area de Conservación Guanacaste's land purchase for permanent conservation.[1]

gollark: It's under "further pure 2", along with exotic topics like number theory, matrix algebra, weird recurrence relations, and group theory. I wonder why.
gollark: You do arc length integration? That's part of one of the furtherererest further maths topics in UK maths curricula (or, well, the one used by the exam board my school uses).
gollark: I have "mgollark" downloaded somewhere, which is a 117M-parameter GPT-2 model trained on 11MB of my Discord messages on free Google Colab GPUs.
gollark: You can actually train GPT-2s to be slightly more task-specific, although it takes horrible amounts of computing power.
gollark: Interestingly, my Discord messages CSV file (used for GPT-2 training some time ago) only goes to 28% of its original size.
