About Gillmeria pallidactyla (Haworth, 1811)
Gillmeria pallidactyla (Haworth, 1811) has a wingspan ranging from 23 to 27 millimetres (0.91 to 1.06 inches). Its frontal tuft and palpi are very long. The posterior tibiae are entirely light brown below the middle spurs. Its forewings are ferruginous-ochreous, clouded with yellow-whitish, and have a subfalcate apex. The costal edge is dark fuscous. A darker triangular suffusion on the costa beyond the middle forms a darker dot, which is followed by a whitish costal spot and an ochreous-whitish subterminal line. The apical two-thirds of the terminal cilia is white. The hindwings are dark ochreous-fuscous, with a small scale-tooth in the middle. The larva is green, with a darker dorsal line that has somewhat brownish tinges; it has grey-whitish subdorsal and lateral lines. The subspiracular area is white, and the head is whitish-yellowish.
