The length of the forewings is 7.2–9.2 mm. The forewings are pale brownish grey intermixed with dark brownish-grey scales and scales tipped with white. The hindwings are translucent near the base, gradually darkening to the brown apex.
The larvae feed on the fruits of Bauhinia holophylla and Stryphnodendron adstringens.[1]
Etymology
The species epithet, cerradicola, is derived from the root cerrado (the habitat from where the type series was collected) and the Latin suffix -cola (meaning inhabitant of).
gollark: Monad transformers, for one thing...
gollark: I'm using "monads" as a stand-in for "monads and the other crazy whatevers".
gollark: For my random bodging, I probably want it to be interpreted, don't care about speed, and do not want to spent 5 hours mucking around with monads or something.
gollark: You can install an AUR helper manually and have it install AUR packages for you after that.
gollark: Yes, hence using it for random bodging.
