Taxonomy
It was described by Alfred Philpott in 1931.[3][4] However the placement of this species within the genus Scoparia is in doubt.[1] As a result, this species has also been referred to as Scoparia (s.l.) contexta.[2]
Description
The wingspan is 29–32 mm. The forewings are bluish white with dull fuscous markings. The hindwings are ochreous grey, tinged with fuscous around the termen. Adults have been recorded on wing in January.[3]
gollark: Solar irradiance is ~1kW/m², commercial panels are something like 20% efficient, so you can get ~200W/m².
gollark: 22W or whatever is probably a very optimistic estimate too.
gollark: It's not undiscovered.
gollark: Ah.
gollark: What is "passmark 9" measuring?
