But a single specimen, a male collected along a protected ter- 
race on the Hawkins Estate, came to our hands in Barbados. 
In an uncultivated area northeast of the village of English 
Harbor, Antigua, two specimens were taken. These are our 
only records. 
In appearance, this form resembles our northern P. macult- 
ventris, but the humeri are somewhat emarginate behind and 
turned upward and forward a little more than in that species. 
P. Sagitta has been recorded from the Amazon northward 
through Mexico and in Texas,, as well as generally throughout 
the West Indies.
