It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Kentucky and Illinois.

The forewings are light reddish gray, minutely dusted with dark purplish-fuscous scales.

Near the base is an inconspicuous, small, dark, bronzy-brown, costal dot.

At the basal third is a large transverse dark bronzy-brown costal spot, reaching down across the fold.

At about the apical third is a smaller concolorous costal spot and the tip of the wing has the dark scales collected into ill-defined transverse spots or streaks.
