The length of the forewings is about 9 mm for males and 10 mm for females. Adults have a grey-brown ground colour with a light suffusion of red scales at the base of the forewing and costa. Both the fore- and hindwings are lightly dusted with brown scales.[2]

Etymology

The species is named in honour of Roger Kendrick, in recognition of the work he has done on Hong Kong moths.

gollark: I did come up with the highly ideatic idea of applying lots of expensive enchantments (including thorns, which is balanced by using durability) to Bibliocraft tinted glasses, until SC removed those a while ago.
gollark: Sad!
gollark: I'm not sure, but this *may* have pushed squid into changing it to the present form.
gollark: So my traffic light control software just `pcall`ed an energy-consuming function in a tight loop.
