It is similar to Perigonia lusca lusca but can be distinguished by the dark grey thorax with dark brown edges and broad median stripe. There is a broad yellow band with diffuse edges on the hindwing upperside. The thorax is dark grey, contrasting with the dark brown edges and the median line.
Adults are probably on wing year round.
The larvae probably feed on Rubiaceae species, such as Guettarda macrosperma and Chomelia spinosa.
