The wingspan is 5–5.1 mm for males. The forewings are dark fuscous. The basal third is bluish metallic. There are silver metallic scales with bluish reflections scattered in the distal two thirds. The hindwings are grey brown.[1]

The larvae feed on Sloanea woollsii. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a more or less contorted linear gallery with linear frass throughout. Later, it is slightly dispersed, but still leaves broad margins. The exit-hole is located on the upperside. Pupation takes place in a brown cocoon.

Etymology

The species name is derived from the type locality, Lamington National Park.

gollark: In any case, if you have a planned system and some new need comes up... what do you do, spend weeks updating the models and rerunning them? That is not really quick enough.
gollark: If you want to factor in each individual location's needs in some giant model, you'll run into issues like:- people lying- it would be horrifically complex
gollark: Information flow: imagine some farmer, due to some detail of their climate/environment, needs extra wood or something. But the central planning models just say "each farmer needs 100 units of wood for farming 10 units of pig"; what are they meant to do?
gollark: The incentives problems: central planners aren't really as affected by how well they do their jobs as, say, someone managing a firm, and you probably lack a way to motivate people "on the ground" as it were.
gollark: What, so you just want us to be stuck at one standard of living forever? No. Technology advances and space mining will... probably eventually happen.
