The Dioptinae are an almost exclusively neotropical group of day-flying moths, many of which exhibit bright wing coloration and are involved in mimicry rings with butterflies (especially Ithomiini) and moths of the Sterrhinae subfamily and Arctiidae family.
There is a brown hindwing form, which belongs to a mimicry complex with several Ithomiini species, including Hypoleria lavinia, Ithomia diasia, Oleria amalda and Pseudoscada timna.
