This extremely variable species is very abundant everywhere in our region, and 
in no one district is any form constant. Mons. C. Oberthiir has kindly sent us Guénée’s 
types for examination; they are pale-coloured specimens. In the very large series 
before us the females not nearly so numerous as the males, and they are comparatively 
darker in colour. 
Mr. Smith’s Mexican examples were captured between the months of January and 
May and also in October.

I think this is most likely a form of P. garnoti, Guén.

This is a common insect in our region. The specimens from Tierra Colorada are 
very richly coloured. P. immunis appears to me to be very closely allied to the North- 
American P. vinculum, Guén. 
Mr. Smith’s Guerrero examples were captured in the months of September and 
October.
