I recall Alta and Van VanLandingham finding junonias on Ocracoke Island. Janet Durand, who lived in Atlantic Beach, NC, found many junonias (13 in one day) at the Merriman Scallop Piles, in the 1990s.

Dear Patrice,
A puzzler indeed. I believe this species can be
found offshore all the way N to Cape Hatteras. It
certainly can be easily found off extreme NE FL outside the 15 fathom isobath.
While it may be difficult to find authentic TX
records, offhand, I don't know of any
zoogeographic barrier, including ocean currents,
between Gulf of Campeche and TX.. However, the
lack of a free-swimming veliger may put a damper such dispersal.
Take two aspirin, and call me in the morning (I'm a doctor),
Harry
