The wingspan is 44–52 mm for males and 58 mm for females. The forewings are mottled light grey to grey, with black strigulae (fine streaks) and lines. The hindwings are light grey with dark lines and a distinct discal spot. Adults are on wing from late April to mid-June.

Etymology

The species name refers to the early appearance of the species and is derived from Latin propediem (meaning prematurely).[1]

gollark: It somehow manages to use 200 MB running in its own tab, so yes, it might not work very well for RAM conservation. But this way means that Google isn't hoovering up my data through Chromium, and Discord can't monitor running processes or whatever.
gollark: I run Discord in the browser to reduce whatever data gathering they do *and* RAM use.
gollark: Also probably so they can monetize it later.
gollark: You log edits and stuff *too*? That must be storage-intensive.
gollark: Pretty sure Australia *lost*.
