The wingspan is 29–31 millimetres (1.1–1.2 in). The head, thorax and forewings are pale brownish white or bone colour and the back of the head and collar are dull cinnamon brown. The forewings are more or less sprinkled with brown scales, especially along the costa and on the outer half of the cell. There is an oblique brown line at the end of the cell, extending upward in the direction of a brown costal streak, between which and the apex are generally two brown dots. A similar one is found on the cleft within the apex. Three brown dots occur on the outer margin of the second lobe, one on the apex, one on the middle and one on the anal angle. The hindwings are pale fuscous and darker than the forewings.[2]

Etymology

It is named for Dr. Charles Valentine Riley.

gollark: I might be wiser in a few ways, but mostly I would have advanced future knowledge™.
gollark: I would then use this to subtly influence future (past) events I don't like, such as "brexit".
gollark: I could just attain money via ??? child things, spend it on some bitcoins (or even *mine* it, since it took a while for people to catch onto GPUs then ASICs) and then have 19024719827490 capital.
gollark: I have vague knowledge of deep learning things which are really recent and would probably substantially accelerate progress if brought to the past somehow. More importantly, though, I would simply buy bitcoin.
gollark: Anyway, if *I* were magically sent back in time I could do better.
