This is a common and very widely-distributed species, and one that is subject to a 
considerable amount of variation. I have a large series of specimens before me, and I 
do not hesitate in including Bolina cunearis and B. illwminans with it. M. pallescens 
(Grote and Robinson), to judge from the examples under that name in the Grote 
collection, is probably not distinct from WM. fasciolaris. Mr. Smith’s Mexican examples 
were captured in the months of March, April, May, and September.
