 Adults of this subspecies have been recorded in January, March, April, July and August.The specific name is derived from the Latin latus (meaning broad) and furcatus (meaning forked), as suggested by the broadly furcate gnathos diagnostic for this species.The subspecific name "apoclina" is derived from the Greek "apoklines" (meaning leaning, sloping) in reference to the dark brown fascia extending obliquely across the forewing.
