The length of the forewings is 5–6 mm for males and females. The ground colour of the forewings is glossy silver, but black along the costa. There are two black spots on the basal area and the antemedian and postmedian line are yellowish white. The subterminal line is pale yellow and is connected with the postmedian line, together forming an X shape.

Etymology

The species name is derived from the Chinese word nan (meaning south) and refers to the distribution in the southern provinces of China.[2]

gollark: Mostly I just get away with duckduckgoing very fast.
gollark: I do also have some personal services running on the same infrastructure, but I barely have to tweak those.
gollark: So it appears that the comments system is down because I recompiled my website with the new domain so the status/images links would be right, and forgot to stick in configuration for proxying to the comments backend onto the new domain. I have to deal with bizarre issues like this *constantly* just to keep my stupid projects in existence and available.
gollark: I can't tell.
