It is found in Réunion, Niger, the Gambia and South Africa, as well as Australia, India, Malaysia, China and Morocco.[3] It has also been recorded from Belgium, Spain and the United Kingdom where it is either a migrant or imported with tomatoes, the larval host plant.[4] The species was first described by Francis Walker in 1859.
The wingspan is 20–34 mm.[5] Females are somewhat larger. The forewing ground colour ranges from orange to grey brown.[6]
The larvae have been recorded on Solanum melongenum.[7] Other recorded hosts are Solanum macrocarpon, Lycopersicon esculentum, Capsicum annuum and Capsicum frutescens.
