It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Ontario, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia.[1][2]
Adults are dark brown in some lights, faintly tinged with purple, green or bronze.

The cilia are pale fuscous, with a dark brown hindmarginal line before their middle.[3]
