HABITAT. West Indies; Central and South America. 

 The type is in the British Museum. I have seen no specimens from 

 our fauna, nor do I find any record of such. I follow Mr. Grote in list- 

 ing it, without a knowledge of why he did so. He also lists hatncy 

 Poey, but this is explained by him and the species is not claimed from 

 fauna.

HABITAT. Florida. 



Both types are in the British Museum, and Mr. Butler is correct in 

 uniting them. He thinks tigris not congeneric with 7>m.sfn/m r//v/oand 

 therefore adopts Walker's generic name. My ideas of genera do not 

 always agree with Mr. Butler's, and I prefer therefore to retain Gne 

 nee's genus until I can make comparisons myself.
