The wingspan is 16–18 mm. The forewings are blackish brown with a faint cover of light grey, especially at the costal and apical parts. The black stigmata in the middle of the wing are hardly visible. There are light grey-brown scales in the fold. The hindwings are white with black margins and veins. Adults are on wing from mid-May to mid-June.
Etymology
The species name refers to the species distribution in desert areas and is derived from Latin deserta (meaning desert).[2]
gollark: Not significantly.
gollark: The individual data points do not have much effect. The aggregate does, but *I cannot change that*.
gollark: I mean, if it would be 1 good if everyone did X, but 0.000001 good if I did X, then the possibility of 1 good which I *can't cause* doesn't affect the goodness of me doing it, unless you expect that I can cause that, which is probably wrong.
gollark: Which is correct, though?
gollark: Those are literally the complements of each other, so you can't have one matter and the other not matter.
