The length of the forewings is 6.4–7.1 mm for males and about 7.7 mm for females. The ground colour of the forewings is brownish yellow to golden yellow, with orange and brown scaling. The hindwings are yellowish white, but yellow near the anal angle. Adults have been recorded on wing from May to July.

Etymology

The species name refers to the close relationship with Sparganothoides torusana and is derived from Latin proles (meaning youth or offspring).[2]

gollark: There are no enderman spawners, you know.
gollark: So we would then either just share resources freely or set up autotrading for some other good?
gollark: I think for most things the infrastructure is only really necessary for *bulk* production, so we would need to automate this somehow.
gollark: Yes, though it only goes to your house right now.
gollark: Also, I've begun digging out the tunnels, though currently due to a lack of turtles I'm doing it manually, so it's not going too fast.
