This plain little insect inhabits also Cuba, Texas, Florida, the 

 eastern side of the United States as far north as Tewksbury, Mass., 

 and spreads into Lower Canada. It is sometimes quite common 

 in Maryland. The four specimens from Grenada were secured at 

 Balthazar, August 4, at an altitude of 250 feet above the sea, in 

 open places, where they were flying at sunset, on the Mount Gay 

 estate, August 20 to 25, and September 15, on the Grand Etang

 is within my reach, and I desire to avoid multiplying genera in 

 this much-divided family.
