Taxacom: latin translation

[John Grehan]

Greetings,

perhaps someone familiar with latin may be able to review a Google
translation (with my interpretation) I did for a brief Latin description of
a moth to see if I may have missed any precision. Below the original and my
translation. In particular, word 'maris' is problematic as I get that to
mean 'sea' but it refers to the filiform antennae (which is OK - the
antenna is thin, threadlike). The original description did not illustrate
the moth, but I now have that if anyone needs to see it to help assess my
translation.

Many thanks,
John Grehan
