This species is common in South America and the 

 West Indies. It is subject to considerable variation 

 especially in the female, with respect to the undulation 

 of the median carina of pronotum ; just behind the 

 anterior margin it is often cristulate, then taking an undu- 

 lating course backward, it varies in the size and number 

 of undulations. Represented by nine examples in the 

 University Museum, Oxford, as follows : Three males and 

 one female from Rio de Janeiro (probably), presented by 

 J. W. Miers ; one female from Rio Grande do Sul, No. 

 9256, presented by Malcolm Burr and identified by 

 Brunner v. Wattenwyl ; two examples from Island of St. 

 Vincent, West Indies ; one example from Brazil (D. 

 Swainson's coll.) ; one female from Trinidad, West Indies, 

 from W. W. Saunders' coll., presented by Mrs. F. W. Hope.
