There's still very little known about this South American species. So far they have only been reported from Peru, but that does not necessarily mean they are restricted to this country. Flavodiosiana is nearly identical to Molippa simillima which also occur in South America. Some of the reported simillima might be flavodiosiana. There probably is a partial overlap in the distribution of both species, which does increase the chances of mistakes in identification. Both are also quite similar to Molippa nibasa, a species that occurs further north. However they are a little darker and larger then nibasa. The wingspan is around seven and a half to eight centimeter for the males and eight to nine centimeter for the females. In captivity this species broods continuously when kept warm.
