The barcodes of these populations are not significantly different. Specimens from the Sierra Nevada are excluded from the type series because of these differences.

occurs near the Pacific Coast from southern California to the tip of the Olympic Peninsula, Washington (Figure 48). It is most common in the California and Oregon Coast Ranges, with records as far inland as the Oregon Cascade Range. It is restricted to the immediate coast in Washington. An apparently disjunct population occurs in the Sierra Nevada, California.

occurs in a variety of habitats, including conifer forest, coastal chaparral, and dry mountain chaparral. It has a long flight season, from as early as March in southern California to as late as August in the Pacific Northwest. The Sierra Nevada population flies at high elevation near timberline during mid- to late summer.

is unusual for a noctuid in that females are collected at lights as often as males. The early stages are unknown.
