Comment: Provisionally added to the Massachusetts list based on a very worn individual which appears to be this species. It was photographed in Newton in November 2023 (see iNaturalist observation. The species usually flies in June/July, so this specimen is totally out of season. It is however very rarely seen, so a 2nd generation could have been overlooked. The previous northernmost locality for this species was in Pennsylvania.
