The Central American taxa were not recognized and described until 1892 (azonax) and 1912 (rhomboidaria). On this basis, I infer that specimens from this region were not available to

in 1857 when he described thisoaria, and that the holotype was collected in eastern North America. In habitus, the HT matches exactly female specimens of the sulphuraria/sulphurata form. The HT was most probably collected in the Middle Atlantic region. I hereby fix the type locality as eastern North America. Based on my research, it appears that

Undoubtedly similar efforts in neighboring areas should produce additional records.
