Diagnosis
Mormogystia is distinguished from all other Cossidae genera by having large silvery areas on the forewing.
Description
Medium-sized, brightly coloured moths. Male antennae bipectinate with very short processes; female antennal pecten much reduced. Large silvery areas on the forewing forming fasciae make this the only Cossidae genus to have such a high contrast pattern. Hindwings are uniform.
Distribution
The genus consists of four species distributed in north Africa, the Levant, Arabian Peninsula and Kenya.

gollark: Say I want to have "edit distance from previous revision" in my revision list (which looks like this) for every row.
gollark: Plus more flaky logic to handle the difference in diffing (coming eventually™).
gollark: Well, yes, that particular one (edit distance) would be, except I would need to have some flaky logic to recalculate it if the current version in the `pages` table is shown with revisions.
gollark: However, if I wanted to add a field like "edit reason" to revisions, it would need to have an entry in pages AND revisions.
gollark: Outside of timestamps, which are small and thus insignificant, no.
