Hab. Eastern province of North America, north to English River, H. B. T. ; 

 whole West Indies : eastern Mexico; Honduras, Guatemala, and Costa Rica; 

 Bermuda in autumn and winter (Jones). 



I do not observe any special difference between skins of this 

 species from a wide range of localities, excepting that those from 

 the Mississippi Valley appear larger, with proportionally longer 

 wings. The Jamaican, Mexican, and Central American are rather 

 smaller than the average ; the Cuban exhibit both extremes.
