Adults have been recorded on wing from early June to late July, suggesting one generation per year.

The larvae probably feed on Piptochaetium and Bouteloua species.

Etymology

The specific name comes from the Maderas del Carmen of north-western Coahuila and the first word of the common name "Joboni" comes from the first names of "Jonás A. Delgadillo Villalobos and Bonnie Reynolds McKinney, who collected part of the type series."[2]

gollark: (then, not than)
gollark: It would probably be best to make a government which is actually competent, *somehow*, then have it do more things.
