Etymology The species name is an adjective with Latinized feminine ending, formed by fusion of the Classic Greek adjective ‘λεπιδωτός’ (‘scaly’) with the noun ‘ὀφθαλμός’ (‘eye’), related to the scaly (Fig. 38D) eye rudiments. The adjectivation of the noun has precedence in the moth Elachista ophthalma Kaila, 2011 [details]
