The wingspan is about 21 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is cream sprinkled with pale brownish grey and suffused with pale ferruginous in the costal and terminal areas. The hindwings are pale brownish.
Etymology
The name refers to the black colour of the costal marking and cilia and is derived from Latin ater (meaning black) and Greek grapta (meaning painted).
gollark: It simultaneously does some really intelligent and really stupid things. Like how biochemistry is incredibly well-optimized for, well, biochemistry things and does things non-biochemists would probably really like to do, but also we have the appendix and eyes are the wrong way round.
gollark: Don't anthropomorphize it, it's a blind optimization process.
gollark: Evolution DOES NOT go around selecting for "the good of the species" or something.
gollark: In one study, there were flies put in some conditions where they couldn't have many children, and instead of evolving to have fewer, they just cannibalized each other's young.
gollark: What? I don't think evolution generally selects for group benefits.
