This species, which inhabits the AVest Indies at large, is split up into many local races, more or less differ- 

 ent from the typical form. The latter belongs to Jamaica. That occurring in Cuba and the Bahamas (and 

 therefore not unlikely to reach occasionally our limits in Florida) is D. petechia gundlachi {D. gundlachi 

 Baird, Review Am. B. i. 1865, 197).
