It was described by Thomas de Grey, 6th Baron Walsingham, in 1881.

It is found in Namibia, South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng), Gambia and Zimbabwe.

The forewings are brownish fuscous, with a white fascia scarcely beyond the middle pointing obliquely outwards from the costa, and sometimes with an excrescence on its inner edge about the middle of the wing.

A white triangular costal spot is found before the apex and the apical margin is marked by a slender whitish line, followed by some blackish scales at the base of the cilia.
