The wingspan is 20–21 mm for males and about 26 mm for females. The forewings are fuscous with the costa narrowly light yellow, expanded at three-fourths from the base, continued below as a thin white line up to the inner margin, bent in the middle towards the termen. There are two blackish-fuscous spots in the discal cell with one in the middle and the other at the end, the former spot accompanied with three to four patches of a few white scales. The hindwings are brownish ochraceous, with the basal half of the costa creamy white. Adults have been recorded on wing in March, April, August, September and October.

Etymology

The species name refers to the two latero-distal oval processes on the juxtal plate.[2]

gollark: The ISS and such are in orbit; gravity is basically the same strength at satellites' height.
gollark: Not actually true, mmWave has awful range but it can use other normal bands fine.
gollark: Then their reference point is wrong.
gollark: STM32s and ESP32s and such are better. The uno is weak.
gollark: Yes, but the uno is not actually a very good/modern microcontroller.
