Forewings subtriangular, coppery brown, lighter in the distal half; termen rounded and slightly oblique; medial band dark brown, slightly sinuous; postmedial band diffuse, marked by pale ochre scales between M 1 –M 3 and CuA 2 –1A+2A, slightly oblique towards the adterminal region; subterminal band whitish along the costa and dark brown on the rest of the wing, zigzagging; discal spot present, blackish brown, diffuse and slightly elongate. Hindwings subrounded, slighlty elongated, reddish-orange with mottled dark brown scales; medial band blackish, wavy; subterminal band smoky, diffuse; terminal band blackish; discal spot present, pale brown, diffuse. Male genitalia (Fig. 10a): uncus hook-shaped, almost as long as valvae; gnathos not developed; valvae sword-shaped, costa sclerotized with a subapical spine; saccus subquadrate, strongly sclerotized, with a subtriangular posterior margin; juxta bilobed, with a pair of sharp posterior digitiform projections; transtilla projected with an arched, setose process. Aedeagus tubular, slightly curved; vesica armed with a dense series of cornutus. Female genitalia (Fig. 10a): corpus bursae membranous and subpyriform, signum as a posteriorly positioned sclerotized bar; ductus bursae sclerotized, about equal in length to the corpus bursae; antrum elongated, funnel-shaped; anterior apophyses half the length of the posterior apophyses.</p><p><b>Distribution.</b> From Linares to Osorno Provinces.
