The Tvetens (216) note some confusion in the classificatory nomenclature. They use Achlyodes mithridates, and Glassberg (152) uses an alternative designation Achlyodes thraso. I have been told that the correct classification is Eantis tamenund."The broad, rounded wings are dark brown, glossed with an iridescent sheen of lavender and copper and crossed by bands of gray spots. The female is lighter and more mottled than the male. Both sexes, however, have sickle-shaped forewings, a distinctive feature formed by an indentation in the outer margin just below the hooked tip."

Glassberg (153) says that it is a "R[are] immigrant in Houston area. RS[tray] north to Dallas."

It is not on the USGS Checklist for Houston County.
