The length of the forewings is 5.5-6.7 mm. The forewings are mostly brown, intermixed with pale yellow scales. The area of the cell is paler than the outer parts of the wing and there are two brown spots in the cell, one central and one distal. The hindwings are pale grey.

Etymology

The species is named in honor of Wilbur and Orville Wright.[3]

gollark: Or, well, the logging code was.
gollark: Turns out it was just accessing some process manager logic which wasn't available in the specific context it was running.
gollark: So I had to screen-record it and play it back slowly.
gollark: There was a fun issue in potatOS a while ago where it errored at startup, but some other process cleared the screen after initialization so I couldn't read the error.
gollark: I've got a reasonably functional "orbital laser" control system, just no actual orbital lasers on any visited server, because they tend to randomly shoot each other (and my important stuff) because I can't make the claims work out properly.
