As may be seen above, this species ranges over the whole of Tropical America, and, 
as might be expected, shows some variation within the limits of this wide area. We 
do not, however, see characters sufficiently strong in any one district to enable us to 
divide the species. Moreover, Mexican and South-Brazilian specimens are almost 
absolutely alike. 
Found in thinly-wooded districts (Champion).

This is the commonest species of Emesis in Central America, being especially abundant 
in Guatemala, where it is found from nearly the sea-level to an elevation of about 
5000 feet. It frequents the second-growth woods and the margins of the forest. The 
males of E. tenedia are very constant in their colour, but the females vary in the extent 
and colour of the cross-band of the primaries, which is in some examples almost a dirty 
white, and in others it approaches the colour of the rest of the wing, so as to be not 
very distinct. These differences in the female are found, so far as we can see, nearly
