Numerous specimens were collected in various localities in the 

 island. At Balthazar, 250 feet above tide-level, specimens were 

 secured, April 20, in weedy open places in second-growth thickets, 

 and at the same place on August 4, 10, 15, flying at sunset. On 

 the Mount Gay estate they were found August 28-31 and 

 September 6, at an altitude of 200 feet, flying at sunset. On the 

 Grand Etang they were secured at an altitude of 1900 feet on a 

 clearing in the damp forest, where they were beaten from masses 

 of brush and from leaves. On the Chantilly estate they were 

 found, August 5, at an altitude of 500 feet on open hillsides, 

 amidst a second- growth timber, where they were swept from piles 

 of decaying weeds and rubbish.
