Distribution. The record below from Guatemala is a considerable extension of the previously known distribution of this species, United States (Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas), which was mapped by Foote et al. (1993).

Biology. The only previously reported host plants for T. pseudovicina are Bebbia juncea (Benth.) Greene ( Wasbauer 1972) , considered an erroneous record by Goeden & Teerink (1998), and Porophyllum gracile Benth. ( Wasbauer 1972, Goeden & Teerink 1998). We reared it from Porophyllum ruderale (Jacq.) Cass. ( Asteraceae : Tageteae ) ( Figs. 123–125) in Guatemala. The larvae develop in the flowerhead.
