Description

The forewings are brown, irrorated (sprinkled) with pale and deep brown. There is one whitish spot with a yellow and two small blacks dots at the base, as well as a series of bands formed by whitish spots and organized as follows: a broken antemedial band, a slightly curved medial band with the size of the spots decreasing from the anal border to the costa and a sinuous postmedial band. The hindwings are whitish and slightly tinged with grey on the apex and along the costa. Ventrally, the marks are more contrasted, deep brown centered with yellowish brown.

Larvae

The larvae feed on several species of Urticaceae, as well as Poaceae, Fabaceae, Ericaceae, Melanostomaceae and Rubiaceae species.

Etymology
