The ground color of the forewings is white with six defined dots distributed on two-thirds from the base. There is a line at the terminal area from almost the center of the wing to the tornum. The hindwing ground color is dark brown.
Etymology
The species is named in honor of Helen Miller, an early major donor for Area de Conservación Guanacaste rain forest purchase.[1]

gollark: <@160279332454006795> What if dictionary explaining apioforms and such on hpage™?
gollark: Given the temporal omnipresence of apioforms I *guess* they could be considered nostalgic, at least?
gollark: This is not accurate.
gollark: > The aesthetic commonly features nostalgic characters and properties, usually popular in the early 2000s or '90s (ex. Hello Kitty, Care Bears, or Furbies). Lighting plays a huge aspect in weirdcore, for example, a bright and happy seeming place with a strange, uncomforting, undertone, or a slightly darkened place, representing memories. Weirdcore has broad overlap with Old Web, Kidcore, and Nostalgiacore as it often uses the same nostalgic motifs, just in a bizarre way. Weirdcore also uses low-quality images (Dithered, and in some cases old camcorder effects) to give the viewer a feeling of early 2000s photography.
