CHRISTENSEN: TROPICAL AMERICAN DryopTeRiIs 95 
This is commonly referred as a variety to D. filix mas, 
but I see no reason for not separating it as a valid species. 
It is widely distributed in tropical America, and is a very 
uniform species. The type came from Peru. I have 
specimens from San Domingo (Eggers 2306); Jamaica; 
Blue Mountain Peak, Mexico, common; Guatemala; Costa 
Rica; Columbia; Peru; Bolivia; eam South Brazil.
