Jamaica. (Obtained from Mr. Gosse) B.M. 



In the ' Species Insectorum ' Fabricius quotes Cramer's P. tor- 

 quatus as his species, which is of course an error, the two insects 

 not being even nearly allied. In Mr. Doubleday's copy of the 

 ' Species General' is the following note " See Lnerius, p. 312 ; " 

 and against this species is written " Pelaus, F. ; " the latter species, 

 however, is from Haiti. Mr. Jones figured the true P. Pelaus 

 amongst his unpublished ' Icones.'

 Brazil. (Obtained from Mr. Bullock) B.M. 



Inhabits open places, according to Mr. Bates (Journ. Entom. 

 December 1861). Mr. Doubleday observed it flying rapidly in path-
