The insect described by De Geer, if rightly determined by me, is one of the most 

 variable in colour, and, at the same time, widely distributed species of the genus in 

 tropical America. I possess a female specimen from Trinidad that appears to be 

 typical. If this be correct, then the various other examples before me from Central 

 America, including both sexes, belong here also.

Three specimens, Saussure's types, male and female, and a second female, are before 

 me as I write. The species must either be a rare insect or else it is restricted to 

 certain conditions of surroundings which have tended so far to keep it out of the 

 hands of collectors.
