It was first described by Achille Guenée in 1854, and its full scientific name is Pyrausta subsequalis Guenée, 1854. This moth is found across much of North America, with recorded ranges extending from southern Alberta and southern British Columbia in the north, south to Arizona and New Mexico, east to Florida, and north again to Ontario. It inhabits dry prairie habitat areas. The wingspan of adult individuals measures 14 to 18 mm. Adults are typically active on the wing from July through early September, but in coastal California, they can be observed year-round.
