It was described by Engelhardt in 1946. It is known from southern North America, including Florida, Oklahoma and Kansas. A moth is an insect closely related to the butterfly, both being of the order Lepidoptera. Moths form the majority of this order; there are thought to be 150,000 to 250,000 different species of moth (about ten times the number of species of butterfly), with thousands of species yet to be described.
