8000 feet. S. picta just enters the United States, but is common in the highlands of 
Mexico and Guatemala, countries which also have S. miniata in common, as well as 
S. lacrymosa. Costa Rica and the State of Panama possess in common 8. aurantiaca 
and S. torqguata—the former a local representative of the widely ranging 8. verticals 
of South America, the latter a peculiar form without near allies. 
In these six species all three of the groups into which the genus has been divided are 
represented. ‘These may be seen under their respective headings.
