Diagnosis
. Wingspan
32–38 mm
. Externally (
Figs 21, 22
) the subspecies differs clearly from
M. adusta adusta
by its smaller size, dark brown or blackish ground colour of forewings and contrasting colouration with pale and well-defined all elements of pattern. The genitalia are very close to those of
M. adusta adusta
,
but in the males (
Figs 63, 64
): uncus somewhat longer; juxta much broader; and ampulla somewhat shorter; in the female genitalia (
Fig. 103
): ostium bursae somewhat broader; ductus bursae more curved than in
M. adusta adusta
; and signum very small.
Distribution
. North Atlantic islands.
Faroe Islands
