About Meganola albula (Denis & Schiffermüller), 1775

This species has a wingspan of 18 to 24 millimeters, and forewings that measure 10 to 11 millimeters in length. Its wings are short and wide. The ground colour of the forewings is whitish or white-grey. The midfield usually stands out as a distinct dark brown, and the narrow middle band sometimes appears even darker. The postdiscal and marginal regions have a light brown shimmer. The orbicular, reniform, and claviform discal marks (also called ring, kidney, and cone blemishes) are either absent or barely distinguishable. The hindwings are monochromatic white-grey, and darken towards the edge. Male moths have combed antennae, while female moths have thread-like antennae. The palps are light in colour and noticeably long.
