It was first described by Herbert Knowles Morrison in 1876 and is found in the United States and Canada ,[1] where it ranges from southern British Columbia, south through Oregon to central California along the coast. The habitat consists of coastal rainforests, mixed hardwood forests, and mixed hardwood-conifer forests at low to middle elevations west of the Cascades.[2]
The wingspan is 38–42 mm. The forewings are whitish to greyish with large discal spots. The hindwings are dark brown to grey with a paler fringe.[3] Adults are on wing from late spring to early September.
