It was described by Achille Guenée in 1857.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from British Columbia to Newfoundland, south to Florida and west to Texas.[2] The habitat consists of deciduous woods and wood edges.
The wingspan is 25–30 mm. Adults have pure white wings, the wing markings limited to interrupted orange-yellow to brown antemedial and postmedial lines.[3] Adults are on wing from April to September in one generation per year.[4]
