This widespread western and central native North American species is associated with Astragalus spp. ( Fabaceae ); larvae are in reproductive structures ( Anderson 2002). In Canada the species was known from Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan ( McNamara 1991); these Quebec records are a significant eastward range extension.
