Discussion. This species is apparently widespread in the Nearctic region, however, it has only been recorded from Arizona, California (type locality), Florida, New Mexico, Texas and Virginia ( Borkent & Grogan 2009). We provide the first record in the Neotropical region from the state of Veracruz, Mexico.
