A small moth of the family Nolidae with a pantropical distribution spanning North America, the Caribbean, Europe, and Pacific islands. The species is known for its larvae, which feed on a broad range of woody plants across at least five plant families. First described by Alois Friedrich Rogenhofer in 1881, it has become established in numerous regions through human-mediated transport or natural dispersal.
