Hitherto found only in the Island of Cuba, where it 

 seems to be comparatively common. Specimens of both 

 sexes were sent to me by Dr. Grundlach.

This is the most remarkable of all the species yet 

 discovered in the West Indies, if not in all America. 

 Thus far it has been reported only from the Island of 

 Cuba, where it is far from common. 



The opacity of its wing-covers, varied by marbled 

 grayish and brown tints, gives it somewdiat the appear- 

 ance of the Brazilian Phenax variegata Fab., but the 

 genus Phenax does not extend to the Antilles, so that 

 the pattern of marking fails to enter the domain of 

 mimicy, so far as these two insects are concerned. The 

 dried leaf style of wing here presented might contribute 

 towards the protection of this Odopoea in certain 

 situations, but we know so little of its habits that 

 nothing certain can be stated with regard to this ques- 

 tion.
