The ? ¥ from Cuba and Haiti are small ; the Cuba ones which we have seen 

 have the margin of the forewing less dentate than Continental specimens. We 

 have no c? c? from these islands. The oblicj^ue brown discal shade on the forewing 

 is variable iu distinctness in the c?c? from the Continent. 



Ilfib. West Indies (except Jamaica) and Continent, occasionally as far north 

 as Massachusetts, southward to Argentina.

 of Central and South America.
