Adults are on wing in March in Florida and in April in the Bahamas and Belize, and have a forewing length of 6–9.5 millimetres. The forewings are light buff to light ochraceous-buff mixed with light tan scales and the hindwings are slightly darker than the forewing and uniformly ochraceous-tawny with medium gray fringes.[1]
Etymology
The species is named in honor of Mr. Linwood C. Dow who collected the holotype and paratypes from Key Largo, Florida and Belize.
