Hah. America, from Mexico southwards to South Brazil. 



At one time I thought it possible to distinguish the Mexican form of 

 this species as E. variegata, but the examination of the large series 

 now before me has convinced me that no such separation is necessary. 

 Some Mexican specimens are certainly of abnormally large dimen- 

 sions (wing 3 - 7), but in other respects may be matched by examples 

 from more southern localities.
