Distribution: This species has been found from Nansemond and Virginia Beach Counties, Virginia, USA, south along the lowland Atlantic coastal region to the Florida Everglades. Adults in the collections of the USNM, from avocado, some with associated mines and collected at various localities in Honduras, may also represent this species. No pupae were available for study and attempts to barcode two specimens were unsuccessful. Mines with associated pupae of what appear to be hyperpersea have also been intercepted on shipments of avocado within the United States from unspecified localities in Mexico. Some fluctuation in the northern limits of this leafminer may have occurred in recent years. As late as June 8-11, 1974, DRD and Mignon Davis found mines of
