The wingspan is 15-15.5 mm. The forewings are relatively broad and even broader towards the termen. The ground colour is yellowish brown, scattered with brown scales. There are two well defined dark discal spots, the distal one being much larger and elongated vertically. A dark brown line runs along the termen. The hindwings are slightly broader than the forewings.

Etymology

The species name is derived from the Latin altus (meaning high).

gollark: Do most redstone computers even have central clock things? I don't think they can, the delay on redstone wires is really high.
gollark: No, they run on logic gates like in real ones, the underlying principles are very different.
gollark: Electricity does not run on remotely similar laws to redstone.
