 for its winter retreat the moderate climate afforded by the region 

 lying between the elevations of 3000 and 4000 feet.

This species seems to be an inhabitant of the hot sea-board 

 only, and does not extend its vertical range to a greater eleva- 

 tion than 2000 feet. In such regions on the Pacific coast it is 

 very abundant, and is, in fact, the commonest of the family, in 

 some parts almost swarming. In every village numbers may be 

 seen flitting about the blossoms of the orange- and lime-trees. 

 Its horizontal range appears to be extensive, and may be said to 

 include the whole of the southern portion of Guatemala from the 

 confines of Chiapas to the State of San Salvador, and probably 

 also embraces the Balsam coast of that Republic, as Capt. Taylor 

 obtained examples on Tigre Island, Bay of Fonseca (P. Z. S. 

 1858, p. 358).
