Introduction
This name was based on a single female specimen which is now missing except for one forewing and two hindwings. Webb (1983) considered that the size, colour and forewing venation suggested that the species belonged to the genus Zaletta but regarded it as a nomen dubium because of the lack of any association with a male.
