Melipotine moth

B. deducta is resident throughout the southwestern states from California and Nevada, east to Missouri and Mississippi, south into Mexico; it is a migrant in northwestern United States, and rarely Canada, with single or very few records from each of the 4 western provinces; also recorded from Florida, probably as a migrant, as the host plant (mesquite) doesn't occur in Florida.<br><br>
B. similaris is restricted in North America to disjunct populations in southern Texas, southcentral Arizona (Baboquivari Mountains), and southern California; also occurs south into Mexico. (information from BugGuide)
