[2] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from New York to Florida, Manitoba, eastern Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Kentucky.

At the base of the costa is a pale ochreous irregularly triangular patch, slightly dusted with fuscous, angulated on the upper portion of the fold.

Across the base of the nervules runs a pale ochreous line, on each side of which the wing is nearly uniform dark brown.

The larvae feed on Eupatorium and Vernonia species, as well as Verbesina virginica, Pinus strobus, Thuja occidentalis, Pluchea odorata and Ageratina altissima var.
