Biology. This species has been reared from flowerheads of several species of Melanthera in Florida. In Guatemala we collected it at three localities almost exclusively on Viguiera dentata (Cav.) Spreng. , which is a likely host plant, although this needs confirmation by rearing. Both plant genera belong to the Asteraceae : Heliantheae .
