Type locality [Rio Grande], Southern Brazil ?.

Type material (holotype) in MNHN, examined.

Material examined. Holotype ♂: [Rio Grande] ( MNHN); 1 ♂, Guyane française, Route de Régina, PK 79, 12.ii.1994, L. & A. Sénécaux ( MNHN); 2 ♂♂, C. America, Panama, Chiriqui prov., Gualaca distr., Reserva forestal de Fortuna, 8.743111 N, 82.26275 W, H= 1107 m, 19.vi.2017, A. Kozlov & Yu. Kovaleva leg. (Genital preparation № 69, № 75 coll. Naydenov A.E.) ( RYB).

Probably , 1 ♂, Bolivia: Chapare, 400 m [no date], Zischka Leg. ( MLP), belongs to this species, but the definition has not been checked on the genitals .

Redescription. Male. Length of fore wing 18−20 mm. Fore wing light- brown with black spots of various shape along costal edge, at root, discally and postdiscally, the alternation of black and brown elements makes a special “chess board” pattern, fringe mottled brown at veins (in thick bundles), light- brown between veins. Hind wing light-brown, series of round spots of various size postdiscally and marginally, fringe mottled brown at veins (in thick bundles), light-brown between veins.

Male genitalia. Uncus robust, split to half of its length, halves of uncus strongly diverged to sides, their apices with wide semi-oval notches; gnathos arms very short, thin; costal edge of valve practically smooth, abdominal edge heavily curved, outer edge semicircular; juxta robust, scaphoid, with relatively wide cylindrical abdominal process apically slightly sharpened; saccus relatively robust, cylindrical, apically slightly sharpened; phallus shorter than vale, vesica without cornuti.

Female unknown.

Diagnosis. The species differs in its halves of the uncus, strongly diverged to sides, with apices having wide semi-oval notches.

Distribution. Panama, French Guiana,? Bolivia.
