Distribution.
Norrbom et al. (1999)
reported the distribution as
Mexico
(
Nayarit
&
Guanajuato
) SE to
Guatemala
. Data supporting these records are listed below. The known range includes the following states of
Mexico
:
Aguascalientes
,
Distrito Federal
,
Guanajuato
,
Guerrero
,
Jalisco
,
Michoacán
,
Morelos
,
Nayarit
,
Oaxaca
, and
Veracruz
. Records from
Peru
and
Chile
(
Hendel 1914
,
Hering 1941
) were based on misidentifications of other
Plaumannimyia
species.
Biology.
Host plants were previously unknown for this species. We reared it from flowerheads of
Archibaccharis serratifolia
(Kunth) S.F. Blake
and
Baccharis serraefolia
DC.
in
Guatemala
, and Krauss reared it from flowerheads of “
Baccharis dracunculoides
” in
Mexico
. The latter is not an available name (H. Robinson, pers. comm.). It is unclear whether the Palmer specimens from
Oaxaca
,
Mexico
were reared from or collected on
Baccharis salicifolia
(Ruiz & Pav.) Pers.
, but that plant is another possible host.
