It is found from Mexico and Belize south to Costa Rica, northern Venezuela and Ecuador.
Adults are on wing in May in Costa Rica.
The larvae probably feed on Vitus tiliifolia and other members of the Vitaceae and Dilleniaceae families, such as Vitis, Cissus rhombifolia and Ampelopsis, Tetracera volubilis, Curatella americana, Tetracera hydrophila and Doliocarpus multiflorus. Ludwigia of the Onagraceae is also a possible host.[2]
