It was described by Achille Guenée in 1854.[1] It is found from the United States, where it has been recorded from Pennsylvania to Florida, west to Arizona,[2] south through Mexico and Costa Rica[3] to Colombia.[4]

The wingspan is 23–30 mm. The wings are white with a violet sheen. The forewings are marked with six blackish-brown lines and a hollow reniform spot. Adults are on wing from May to September in the United States.

The larvae feed on Asteraceae species.[5]
