A very common species throughout Tropical America, occurring in Western Mexico 

 as far north as Mazatlan and in the State of Vera Cruz and thence southwards to 

 Paraguay, its range in altitude extending from the sea-level to a height of 3000 or 

 4000 feet in the mountains. 



The number of subapical transparent spots in the males of this species varies 

 from two to four, and in some cases they are altogether wanting. The colour of 

 the females, too, varies, some being darker and greyer, others more rufescent and 

 paler. 



The male genitalia have a forked tegumen and well-developed scaphium ; the harpes 

 (like those of Antigonus nearchus) have a horned lobe arising from the dorsal edge, 

 but instead of the horns being equal there is a long one and a very short one from 

 the base of the lobe ; there is also a long flat lobe from the inner surface of the 

 ventral edge — it is not straight, but bent inwards, and has a finely serrate edge. (See 

 Tab. LXXXVII. fig. 16.)
