Redescription. Male. Length of fore wing 18−20 mm. Fore wing brown with oblique light- brown line from top of discal cell to anal angle, with dark-brown spots of various shapes throughout all wing, round dark-brown spot submarginally (at medial veins), fringe mottled, dark-brown at veins (in thick bundles), light-brown between veins. Hind wing dark-brown with series of dark-brown spots along outer edge of wing, fringe brown unicolorous.

Male genitalia. Genitals of typical shape for the genus – with deeply split massive uncus; valve with slightly curved abdominal edge, practically even costal edge, small bump apically, outer edge semicircular; juxta scaphoid with long tapered apically sharp abdominal process; saccus poor;y elongated, tapered, apically semicircular; phallus short, apically evenly sharpened.

Female. Length of fore wing 25 mm. Wing pattern resembles that of the male, but paler.

Female genitalia. Ovipositor short; papillae anales tapered, densely covered with small spikes; anterior and posterior apophyses very short, thick, posterior apophyses slightly longer than anterior; ostium wide, cup-like, framed with poorly sclerotized plate; ductus of bursae copulatrix short, relatively wide; bursa copulatrix bag-like, without signa.

Diagnosis. The species clearly differs from other species of the genus in a series of characters:

- the oblique light-brown line on the fore wing from the discal cell top to the anal angle;

- the small bump on the costal edge of the valve closer to the apex.

Distribution. Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil (Bahia), Paraguay, Argentina (Jujuy).
