Taxonomy
The genus Syringia (Phycitini) is different from Spatulipalpia (Cryptoblabini) on some extents, especially the shape of the anatomic structures and the pectinate antennae.
The wingspan of this species is 23 mm. Its larvae had been found in February on sugar-apples (Annona squamosa).[2]

gollark: If you can't actually use avaritia then don't add it, it'd just be a waste of RAM.
gollark: What won't happen?
gollark: Just don't add it, and see what doesn't happens.
gollark: Insanely overpowered stuff which is BaLanCeD because it takes more effort.
