It is also found in North America (including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas), Central America (including El Salvador[1] and Costa Rica),[2] Cuba[3] and Peru.

The larvae have been recorded feeding on Gutierrezia sarothrae.
