Hah. Mexico, Tierra Colorada, in Guerrero, 2000 feet {H. H.

One specimen of this beautiful little insect was captured by 

 Mr. Smith in October 1888 ; it seems to be allied to the European 

 T. rosea.

Hah. Mexico, Atoyac, Vera Cruz {H. H. Smith) ; Panama, 

 Chiriqui {Ribbe, Mus. Standinger). 



Mr. Smith captured this species in April 1888. It is possible 

 that this insect may prove the same as Xantlioptera albojlava, 

 Walker, from Honduras : but it does not agree with his description 

 and I have not seen the type.
