Habitat. — West Indian fauna ; Florida Keys to Brazil. 



Etymology : Radiatus, radiant. 



This is the largest in size of the American species of this genus, and 

 one of those most readily recognized. It has been well described by 

 Professor Goode, who has noted the variations due to age, and by Pro- 

 fessor Jordan (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1884, 194), who has indicated the 

 several variations in the adult. 



This species is evidently the Pudiano verde of Marcgrave, the Pud- 

 ding- wife of Gatesby, and the Doncella of Parra.
