( Figs 6 : I, 18: H, 23: L–M, 30: F, 71: D, 72: D, 91: A)

This is the only Neotropical Ophiderini with orange-yellow hindwings lacking a medial patch. As in Tetrisia the forewings do not have a tornal hook. Specimens or photos have been examined from Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, Panama, Columbia, Bolivia, French Guiana, and Brazil (Santa Catarina State).
