( Figs. 107–108 )

Material examined. MASSACHUSETTS: Berkshire Co., Savoy , Tannery Falls parking area, 12.vii.2012, em. 31.vii.2012, C.S. Eiseman, ex Eupatorium perfoliatum , #CSE15, CNC391394 , 391396 (1♂ 2♀) ; Franklin Co., Northfield, 276 Old Wendell Rd. , 8.ix.2013, em. 11.x.2013, C.S. Eiseman, ex Arctium minus , #CSE936, CNC392639 (1♂) ; same collection data, em. 17–29.iv.2014, #CSE1083, CNC384749–384753 (2♂ 3♀).

Lamont ( Frick 1956; Spencer 1969; Spencer & Steyskal 1986). A female paratype from Ontario labeled “on Viburnum pubescens ” (= V. dentatum L., Adoxaceae ) was misinterpreted by Frick (1956, 1959) as a rearing record ( Spencer 1969).

Puparium. Reddish-brown; formed outside the mine.
