The length of the forewings is about 7 mm. The forewings are mainly dark grey brown, with individual scales paler at the base. There is an irregular dark grey-brown mark at three-fifths of the cell, a dark grey-brown blotch at the end of the cell, several dark grey-brown scales along the fold from near the base to three-fourths of the fold, as well as several pale-grey scales on the anterior and posterior margins at four-fifths.
Etymology
The species is named after Mrs. Sally B. Adams, who first collected the species.[3]
gollark: If you cache it, it might stick around for ages.
gollark: Well, obviously the data on the other end might be parsed wrong, which could be a security issue.
gollark: Oh, for your records thingy.
gollark: What?
gollark: Well, sure, the most simple possible one would just be... split at newlines or something, but that isn't very expressive.
