The wingspan is 10 mm. The forewings are relatively short and densely covered with dark brown scales. The hindwings are orange grey and as wide as the forewings.

Etymology

The species name is derived from the Latin set (meaning bristle) and refers to the specialized bristles on the hindwing.

gollark: I HAVE read the code, you know.
gollark: "Learn to code lasers"?
gollark: Oh, and to be nice to the server my thing only scans for entities every ~4 ticks, so sometimes it misses really nearby lasers.
gollark: I'm not sure why, but I never got it to work correctly.
gollark: The timing *shouldn't* be hard; you should just be able to use the perfectly knowable velocity of the laser; but it somehow is.
