 to Kew Granada. Accidental as far north along' the Atlantic coast of

Kemarks. — The specimens in the National Museum Collection rep- 

 resent very nearly the known distribution of the species. Si^ecimens 

 from Greytown, Nicaragua (40438, H. E, Holland), and from Cartagena, 

 New Grenada (17885, A. Schott), are quite indistinguishable from Antil- 

 lean exami)les.
