Description
The species have a wingspan of 28–31 millimetres (1.1–1.2 in), and are brownish-yellow coloured. The lobes are dorsally curved and acute. The male genitalia valve is elongated from the left, but is still straight and half as long as the right valve. Meantime, the right valve is of the same shape, but lacks a saccular spine, which the left one has. The female genitalia have flattened Ostium, while the antrum is narrowed, identically to Oidaematophorus constanti.[2]
Habitat
The larvae feed on Inula hellenium and Pulicaria odora.[3]
gollark: textutils.serialise doesn't like them. That does allow you to crash poorly programmed modem spies.
gollark: It does let you send recursive tables which is a weird quirk.
