The length of the forewings is 7–9.5 mm. The forewings are somewhat suffused with pale brown to blackish-brown scales. There is a blackish-brown stripe basally and the antemedian, postmedian and subterminal lines are white. The hindwings are white to pale brown.

Etymology

The species name refers to the forewing with posterior two thirds of the postmedian line straight and is derived from Latin rectus (meaning straight) and lineatus (meaning linear).[2]

gollark: As much as it pains me to rely on that now perpetually open psql session and kind of ruin the fun, 8000 pages is too many.
gollark: I did.
gollark: Creating server lag will not be tolerated, keep replication numbers low...
gollark: Interesting. Somebody has hybridized the Aidan strain with mine and increased some numbers to flood it to death.
gollark: I plan for the next step to be replicators which know which page *they* are and self-modify.
