It was described by Hübner in 1831.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nova Scotia, Ohio, South Carolina and Texas.[2] Outside of the United States, it has also been recorded from the West Indies (including the Bahamas, Cuba and the Dominican Republic) and South America (including Venezuela).
