The length of the forewings is 5.5-6.2 mm. The forewings are dark grey, yellowish-brown tipped scales on the basal one-fifth, dark-grey tipped scales from one-fifth to four-fifths and dark-brown tipped scales at the apex, a brown spot at three-fifths of the cell and a dark-brown blotch at the end of the cell.

The larvae on Lupinus sericeus var. sericeus and Lupinus ornatus.

Etymology

The species name refers to its distribution and is derived from Latin occiduus (meaning setting [of the sun]).[3]

gollark: Also, parser combinators are sorely needed.
gollark: What I need to do is make the escape bit handle `\uXXXX` sequences...
gollark: ```luafunction parseString(str) str = str:sub(2) local s = "" while str:sub(1,1) ~= "\"" do local next = str:sub(1,1) str = str:sub(2) assert(next ~= "\n", "Unclosed string") if next == "\\" then local escape = str:sub(1,1) str = str:sub(2) next = assert(decodeControls[next..escape], "Invalid escape character") end s = s .. next end return s, removeWhite(str:sub(2))end```
gollark: Okay, this is hand-rolled parsing code, I have no idea how it works.
gollark: *But* this is a bug in the JSON handling, which I should really fix *anyway*.
