The species was described based on a female specimen from Trinidad, but the author (Byers 1965) justified it based on its color pattern alternating between pale and dark bands on both legs and antennae, and the pattern of spots in the wings. The later discovery of a male specimen confirmed the distinctiveness of the species (Byers 1996).
