Male ectoproct with ventromedial lobe bearing 8‒10 short and thick setae. Pseudopenis curved, longer than gonarcus median lobe. Pseudopenal membrane covered with minute scales. Hypomeres present as two pairs of sclerotized lateral marks on the pseudopenal membrane.

Distribution. Brazil ( Ohl 2004), Colombia (Antioquia, Sucre).

Comments. This is a small species (forewing length, 9.6‒11 mm) occurring in several states of Brazil. Here its distribution is considerably extended to the northern part of South America. Adults of this species have been collected nearly during the entire year except in January and June ( Machado & Rafael 2010). Altitudinal distribution ranges from 0 to 520 m.
