The wingspan is 18–20 mm (0.71–0.79 in). The forewings are irregularly scattered with dark-brown scales, especially dense in the basal area and below the discal spots, which consist of a pair of large blackish spots before the middle and near the end of the cell. The hindwings are pale grey, with dark-brown scales sparsely scattered in the lower part of the discal cell.[1]
Etymology
The species name is derived from Greek palin (meaning backward) with the suffix -oides.[1]
gollark: Pick a sensible-seeming value, and refine it by swinging it around a bit and seeing if it is too hard or too easy to activate.
gollark: You should probably just test it.
gollark: Switches, unless they're at stupidly high temperature?
gollark: They could kill the coronavirus by firing relativistic protons at it.
gollark: Star Trek isn't *remotely* realistic, so almost certainly not as they portray it. The closest vaguely plausible thing is probably the Alcubierre drive, which IIRC could maybe exist, isn't remotely practical, and comes with its own exciting problems.
