Notes: This species, in Florida and in North Carolina, has two generations per year, a spring flying (April-July) and a fall (Sept.-Oct.). Females may be distinguished from similar Prosopis species by the long facial foveae terminating closer to the ocelli than to the eye (however, this is not always apparent), males by the distinctive 7th and 8th sterna.
