The wingspan is 14.5–15 mm. The forewings are golden yellow with creamy-white basal and subbasal lines, with golden yellow between them.

The antemedial line is S shaped and creamy white, followed by a golden-yellow area before the postmedian line. The hindwings are yellowish white.

Etymology

The species name refers to the colour of the forewings and is derived from Greek charis (meaning charming, gracious).[2]

gollark: And it seems to demonstrate that you can just scale up the models and get better results, too, without any smart approaches or something.
gollark: It can add numbers it hasn't seen in its training data with greater than chance accuracy - it actually *knows something about it*.
gollark: It can generate surprisingly real-looking text output!
