Argentina (witliout exact locality), in coll. Br. Mus., a 
single example, referable to the ab. congoata, Walk. 
Distribution very general from Mexico southwards. 
Q) Brazil, (^) Haiti, (^) Colombia, (^) Venezuela, (^) Ecuador, 
(®) Paraguay. Probably the Cuban sicbceodaria, H.-S., is 
the same. 
Somewhat variable, especially in colour, which follows 
somewhat nearly the same shades as in the European 
Philercme transverscda (Hufn.) = rhamnata (Schiff.). 
Walker’s congoata, erroneously supposed to come from 
the Congo,* is the aberration with brighter brown, less 
marked, submarginal area, the counterpart of an aberra¬ 
tion well known to students of Palaearctic Gcomctridac, 
from its occurrence in Caloccdpc cerrincdis (Scop.) = ccrtata 
(Hub.) and Philercme transverscda.
