It was described by Packard in 1864.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Newfoundland to New Jersey, west to Oregon and north to British Columbia.[2] The habitat consists of deciduous woodlands.

The wingspan is 28–33 mm. The forewings are light brown to orangish-yellow. The ante- and postmedial lines are brown, straight and parallel and the reniform spot has the form of a black dot. The hindwings are white or pale yellow with a small indistinct discal spot and a thin brown terminal line. Adults are on wing from April to September in two generations per year.[3]

The larvae feed on the leaves of Alnus and Betula species.[4] The larva have a purplish or reddish-brown body, mottled with yellow. Pupation takes place in a cocoon made within a folded leaf.
