The wingspan is 12.5–14 mm. The forewings are olive brown, with a cream streak from the base in the fold, through the cell and reaching the apex, meeting a thin cream costal streak. The hindwings are fuscous with a faint violet hue, at the base slightly paler.
Etymology
The species is named after Al Hamra, the type locality.[2]
gollark: Features.
gollark: I'll admit the code is a bit bad now but PotatOS Hypercycle is coming soon with *major* refactors.
gollark: <@!259973943060856833> Like what?
gollark: WRONG!
gollark: PotatOS is able to make omnidisks somewhat unduplicateable, *but* that only works because their value comes from being cryptographically signed and able to run in privileged mode on potatOS - you can run them anywhere else, it just won't be useful.
