Coordinator notes: This is a range extension for this moth as far as I am aware. I have seen it in eastern KY, but nowhere closer. I am listing it as a stray for now until there is proof of others and the presence of its food plant. Update: this was original entered as Van Buren County, but the original submitter contacted BAMONA to indicate that it was in Warren County.
Checklist region(s): Warren County, Tennessee, United States
