The wingspan is about 15 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is yellow cream, preserved in the costal area and medially where it is suffused orange between the markings. These markings are brown and tinged orange at places. The hindwings are pale orange with brown spots in the apical area and red orange spots in the anal and posterior areas.

Etymology

The species is named in honour of Ing. Salazar Torres.[1]

gollark: I'm not sure why the presidential candidates' age needs to be brought into this when they all seem bad in other ways anyway.
gollark: That would make sense.
gollark: I'm not hip and with it (yo) when it comes to all these... generation name things? What's a "doomer"?
gollark: I do generally prefer flying to cars for reasonably long distances, but the whole "security" thing at airports really does a great job at making me reevaluate that. And is not actually improving security at all.
gollark: How does hyperloop compare to regular maglevs?
