The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are ochraceous on, suffused with fuscous, more so in distal one-third, the latter part divided by a submarginal band of ground colour. There are blackish-fuscous markings, including a patch at the base of the costa, a speck below the costa at one-third, a large triangular patch between and below these two and a smaller discocellular spot towards the base. The hindwings are greyish brown. Adults have been recorded on wing in June and August.
Etymology
The species name refers to the squarish shape of gnathos.[2]
gollark: Although I don't think I'd want to encourage an increase in lawyers.
gollark: If you could somehow make medicine/law available as undergraduate things that... might help?
gollark: The UK does those, I think, and seems to be doing fine lawyer and doctor-wise.
gollark: A convincing explanation I read of the everyone-has-to-go-to-college thing is that college degrees work as a signal to employers that you have some basic competence at listening independently, doing things for delayed gain later, sort of thing, more than providing any massively work-relevant skills, and it apparently got easier/more popular to get a degree over time, so the *lack* of one works as a signal that you *lack* those basic skills.
gollark: No idea.
