8000 feet. S. picta just enters the United States, but is common in the highlands of 

 Mexico and Guatemala, countries which also have S. miniata in common, as well as 

 S. lacrymosa. Costa Eica and the State of Panama possess in common S. aurantiaca 

 and aS^. torquata — the former a local representative of the widely ranging 8. verticalis
