It is found in Costa Rica, where it has been recorded from the Pacific side of the Cordillera Volcánica de Guanacaste and on the Península de Nicoya at altitudes ranging from . The habitat consists of dry forests. The length of the forewings is for males and for females. The costal half of the forewings is dark brown from the base to the termen, except for the apex, which is white enclosing two dots on the terminal line. The longitudinal line separates a dark costal half from the paler posterior half. There is a brown spot on the base at the premedial line. The hindwing ground color is whitish, getting dark towards the apical margin.

Moth
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995.
