“The genus is distinctly an American development, and in U.S. National Museum 
are several unpublished species from Central America. Though I as yet have not seen 
the present species, Cyane terpsichorella, from Central America, there is no doubt that 
it has been introduced into Hawaii from there and that it eventually will turn up 
in collections from the continent” (Busch *).

Mr. Busck and Mr. Knab observed the cases of the larva of this species in Mexico 
and in Panama, where they were common on nearly every house—both agree that the 
larvae feed on dead insect-remains in spiders’ webs. They would appear to be rather 
scavengers than injurious to clothing in Central America, but on the other hand 
Mr. A. Schulz noted in Pard that they were very injurious to clothing in houses.
