We first discovered this species during an expedition to the low forests of Northern 

 Vera Paz, where it occurs in some numbers on the sandy banks of the forest streams. 

 We subsequently met with it on the upper part of the Belize river, and our collectors 

 secured a series of specimens in the valley of the Polochic. Mr. Champion also found 

 it in these and other places and as high as Purula and Coban, that is to say, at an 

 elevation of between 4000 and 5000 feet above the sea. It appears to be absent from 

 the forest-region bordering on the Pacific, and we have no record of its occurence else- 

 where in Central America till we reach Costa Rica.

Boisduval first described this species from a Mexican specimen belonging to M. 

 Marchand, of Chartres. It has since been found on the slope of the mountains of 

 Vera Cruz, chiefly in the neighbourhood of Cordova ; it is also abundant on the eastern 

 side of Guatemala, up to an elevation of about 2500 feet. Its most southern limit is 

 Colombia, where it is found at Frontino in the Cauca valley near Muzo, and near San 

 Buenaventura on the Pacific coast. It is remotely related to P. thyastes of Drury.
