The species was first described by Francis Walker in 1865.[1] It is found in the eastern and central United States, south to Mexico. It is also found in the Caribbean (including Guadeloupe, Martinique, St. Kitts and Montserrat), south to French Guiana.[2]
The wingspan is about 28–33 mm. Adults are on wing from June to September.
Only two larvae are known, and these were reared on Hydrocotyle umbellata.
