For my specimen of this beautiful insect I am indebted to the kind- 

 ness of my friend, T. L. Mead, Esq., of New York, who however 

 omitted to state the locality where the specimen was taken. If my 

 memory serves me correctly, I believe he mentioned, in a previous con- 

 .versation, that the specimens in his possession were taken in Florida.
