Author's comments:
Identificada por Edna Steward Woodward en el grupo Lucas Rubio en Mothing and Moth-watching. Aparentemente, es una especie cosmopolita.
"Adult is sexually dimorphic:
Female forewing is dark brown/maroon with a small white ring near the middle of the disc;
Male forewing is light brown/yellowish with a black spot in place of the female´s white ring;
Both sexes have oblique blackish dash at apex of forewing (which distinguishes The Gem from the Bent-line Carpet)"
