It was described by Grote in 1878.[1] It is found in Mexico[2] and the south-eastern United States, where it has been recorded from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Virginia.[3]
The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are dark purplish-red with two yellow patches, as well as a small yellow spot in the antemedial area near the costa. The hindwings are similarly coloured, with one large patch in median area and a small spot near the base. There is a black terminal line on both the fore- and hindwings.
