Stilbosis lonchocarpella Busck
Stilbosis lonchocarpella Busck, 1934, p. 157.
This species has been taken commonly by Mrs. Spencer Kemp at Key Largo, Florida. Busck cites Lonchocarpus sericeus as the host of the larva; however, this plant is not known to occur in Florida, so another legume probably serves as host there.
RECORDS.—Florida: Key Largo, Monroe County, 28 ♂ ♂, 14 ♀ ♀, 16 December–20 April.
