The wingspan is about 12.5 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is cream, strigulatred (finely streaked) with ochreous and brownish and with brownish-grey markings, as well as dark brown spots and strigulae. The hindwings are cream tinged with brownish.

Etymology

The original genus name, Worcesteria, refers to Worcester, the type locality of the type-species, but was preoccupied by Worcesteria Banks, 1906, a Diptera genus.[4] Its replacement name, Josefrazowskia, refers to Józef Razowski, who discovered the genus and species. The species name refers to the separate systematic position of the species within the Archipini tribe and is derived from Latin recorndita (meaning well distanced).[5]

gollark: It's not cheaty. It's representing the bytes in a nicer format.
gollark: (because CPUs are basically pandering to ancient models of computing nobody can shift and GPUs are good-ish but only for very parallel tasks)
gollark: There are probably lots of possibilities left unexplored in *electrical* computing.
gollark: Really? An AMP link?
