The length of the forewings is about 8 mm for females. The forewings are greyish black, with a grey median area outlining a triangular dark area on the costa enclosing a black discal dot of raised scales. The hindwings are slightly paler than the forewings, becoming darker distally. Adults have been recorded on wing in December.
Etymology
The specific name is based on the type locality.
gollark: it seems overly fate-y.
gollark: I read Gaiman's *Norse Mythology* and quite liked it, but I also don't actually think it's *true* and wouldn't want to live in a Norse-mythology-driven world anyway.
gollark: Can gods communicate via LEDish "candles" instead of flamey ones? It seems a bit of a fire risk.
gollark: You should join my religion. We have a 30 days satisfaction or your belief back guarantee, and you can keep your existing religion.
gollark: I just ignore that sort of thing, for purposes.
