The species was first described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1872.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from eastern North America west to Oklahoma and north to British Columbia.[2] The habitat consists of dry shrubby areas and wooded edges along the floodplains of prairie rivers.
The wingspan is 15–20 mm.[3] Adults are variable. Adults are on wing from late May to mid-June in one generation per year.[4]
